New York City Ballet 26/27 Poster

Heavy negative space and dark, moody romanticism drawn from recent cinematic still-life logic.

Sharp, high-contrast Didone letterforms carrying the authority of a fashion masthead.

Deep oxblood, plum, and charcoal prioritizing under-exposed imagery and dramatic shadows.

Irregular, off-balance column breaks and floating elements mimicking imperfect physical zines.

The composition weighted hard to one edge with the opposite side left open — deliberately off-center, but internally ordered, with elements aligned to each other rather than scattered.

Heavy analog noise, rough scans, and tactile textures serving as an authentic defense against smooth AI perfection.

Single-surface display work built to be read at distance — bills, gig posters, and out-of-home placements.

The body as primary subject — portraiture, fashion figure, and the crowd.
