Hebrides

This typographic poster delves into the essence of Felix Mendelssohn's Piano Concerto Op. 26, drawing inspiration from his transformative journey to the Hebrides Islands and the awe-inspiring Fingal's Cave. While the piece doesn't narrate a specific story, it beautifully suggests the sea and Mendelssohn's profound experience. The typographic design conveys this narrative by employing intentional techniques.

To evoke the tension inherent in the composition, the leading of larger words is reduced, allowing them to bleed off the page. This creates a visual representation of the musical tension within the concerto. The use of various text sizes and colors further contributes to this sense of dynamic tension, mirroring the ebb and flow of the sea.

In a nuanced touch, overlapping portions of the text symbolize the crashing waves upon the rugged rocks, adding a layer of depth to the visual narrative. This typographic exploration not only encapsulates the essence of Mendelssohn's composition but also invites the viewer to experience the emotive journey inspired by the Hebrides Islands.
