This poster design project was inspired by the song “Glitter” by Daisy the Great, a track that explores identity, chaos, and self-acceptance.
The goal was to translate the song’s emotional tone into a visual experience, surreal, chaotic, and haunting, but also reflective and intimate.
Concept
I conducted research into the band, their interviews, and live performances, and drew inspiration from both the lyrics and broader aesthetic movements:
Surrealism & dreamcore
Psychedelic poster art
Glitch aesthetics
Vapourwave and collage art
​
These became the foundation for my moodboard, colour palette, and type explorations.
Visual Development
Colour Palette
Low-contrast, eerie tones inspired by surreal imagery and late-night ambience. Muted neons and dark hues reinforce the unsettling yet dreamlike quality of the song.
​
Typography
After testing a range of typefaces, I selected Bellybeans FG Regular for its strong association with psychedelic design, giving the poster a nostalgic yet chaotic edge.
​
Sketching
Through several sketches, I explored recurring motifs:
Mirrors and eyes (self-awareness, dissociation).
Feminine figures (personal connection to the song).
Film strips, screens, and collage elements.
Distorted type and layered textures.
