POPPERS EMBASSY

This theoretical museum celebrating John Waters interprets the story of the cult-favorite movie director.

Poppers muscle relaxers were a staple of underground gay clubs and bath houses in the 1970s. Today they are still used by gay men everywhere, primarily for sex. I used them to represent John Waters and his art because they are disturbing, erotic and addictive. My concept museum has two exhibitions: one of cult films and another for his book and visual art, indecent exposure, recently acquired by the Baltimore Museum of Art.

Included the visual language from retro television/screen effects, the modern identity of this cult film festival has been composed.

The goal of this project is to design a promotional component for The Next Wave Festival using a bold and practical typographic system. I combined the “X” in the word “next” with my custom typeface and used it as a signature element in a set of booklets. Since “X” means undefined in algebra, it is a perfect representation for TNW Festival 2020– mysterious yet with a lot of surprises.
