Night Stories – Tour Posters
The Night Stories are two friends that come out every October and Friday the 13th to perform Halloween-induced sounds. Using a barebones number of instruments, the duo create intense soundscapes reminiscent of John Carpenter drenched with the intensity of Nine Inch Nails.
Taking cues from Italian horror films of the 1970s and macro photography, I designed a poster with the goal of placing the band's music into visual form. The bold typography and stark colors, aimed to induce a sense of dread and unknown, while the band, looking off the page, stare into the void.

Two alternate posters were also created. Utilizing a black and white style with the same bold typography, these posters fit within the early punk and hardcore scenes as well as 70s horror films. Both members got their own version, mirrored after one another to create a cohesive set.
The label design follows closely to the back cover. It carries over the nostalgic horror and American record label designs from the 1950s. A multitude of designs were created to try and encapsulate the design language we were trying to achieve.
