THE NATIONAL
HANDS
GIG POSTER


For this special poster design commission, with The National's music in mind we wanted to come up with some intense yet delicate artwork - a simple, beautiful image with an ethereal feel, to create some visual storytelling using people interactions through an iconography charged with softness, expressive intentions & connection possibilities. Embrassing composition improvisation, we organised a group molding session to create a collection of highly detailed sculptural hands casted in various positions, which we photographed & integrated with contrasting graphic typography.
