Packing List Radio Show Identity

This is a project I worked on while at Fitchburg State for my radio show on WXPL 91.3

The show was based on the BBC Radio show Desert Island Discs, which asked people about the music they'd bring to a desert island. In my case, I structured the show by asking for 5 desert island picks.

In the show's identity, I wanted to evoke 60s and 70s psychedelia because of its strong ties to music nostalgia in general.

Many of the Packing List posters were silly Photoshops relating to names or albums. This poster uses an illustration from one of the band's albums. Also included on this poster is the typeface and wordmark used in the banner, which became a unified visual identity of the show. This was one of my favorite posters to make, though the whole project was a lot of fun, from the designs to the conversations.

The posters were designed to be posted on Facebook, so the square dimensions were chosen to maximize readability and clarity for that platform. On the left are some of the more free form designs from season one of the show, with season two on the right. In season two I began to standardize the use of the logo. I used these posters to explore design and illustration, and attempt a lot of things I hadn't before, which is always something I look for in design projects.
