Music Of the Sphere
Typography | Fall 2023 | Concert Poster | AGD 2250
This is another academic project from my typography class. The assignment was to design a poster advertising an event of our choice. The event needed to have a schedule with a date, time, and location, which we then had to reformat into our own design. The project focused on using a modular grid system as the foundation for the composition.
For this project, I decided to design a poster for Coldplay's "Music of the Spheres" world tour (2023-24). Coldplay's posters are usually bright and colorful with a galaxy theme, but I wanted to try something different—a cleaner, simpler look that still captured the feel of their music.
I used a modular grid system to help keep everything organized and balanced. Instead of using lots of colors, I chose a deep navy background that feels like the night sky but isn’t too obvious. I kept the text simple and clear to make sure all the important information, like the dates, venues, and cities, is easy to read.

Mockup
To keep a hint of the "Music of the Spheres" theme, I added a dotted arc that looks like a planet's orbit but doesn’t overpower the design. I used a colorful font for the word "SPHERE" to connect with Coldplay's usual style, but kept it limited to just that word to maintain a clean and modern look.
I organized the event details in a way that's easy to follow, with the dates and locations in a neat vertical format. I also included the website and ticket information at the bottom left side in a way that doesn’t distract from the main content. My goal was to create a poster that feels fresh and clear while still being true to Coldplay’s vibe.
