We Were Promised Jetpacks Infographic

I chose to research the band  We were Promised Jetpacks. Out of all the bands that were options, it was one of the only bands who's music I enjoyed listening to and felt it would be easier for me to get a feel for the band if I actually wanted to listen to their music. Despite their songs having a sense of urgency(this was highlighted in an interview with the band while they were in New York), there lyrics can be very melancholy. I think their album covers fit the mood of the band perfect, using muted colours and very simple designs.

 














I wanted to combine the simplicity of their designs and the mood of their lyrics, so I tried to focus on their lyrics and what stood out to me personally from them. I noticed that their were many references to death, time, weather and home in their songs. These themes took up a good portion of the songs themselves. I still wanted to keep the simple design in mind, so tried to think of a way to show these references without making the design too intricate. I decided to use very basic symbols ro represent the porton if the song taken up with the references. I used the "helvetica inserat cyrillic upright" font in the design, as I want to use a sans serif font that was bold, but neat. I used muted colours used in the bands album covers(For some reason, the entire poster is showing up in only greys right now, apologies!), as I think they suit the overall sound of the band perfectly.

How did you get here?
