The Hammill Transcription Project

The Transcription Projects series are conceptual poster sets about my favorite performers in rock and avantgarde music. The typography with the accompanying illustration more or less reflecting on the words of the songs function together as semi-booklet pages of the musicians’ compilation albums, lacking only the obligatory cover design (and the hard work of selecting more than 5–7 songs from the artists’ repertoire). Being the second in this series, this one presents illustrations for the lyrics of some Peter Hammill songs. The stripes are coded in Context Free Design Grammar, the typeface is Neville Brody’s Industria.
