Magic City Hippies - "Walking on Electric Air" Lyric Poster

“Magic City Hippies” is an indie band that was founded in Miami. FL and has some hits songs dating back to 2015. The band has such a unique sound blending elements of groove ,funk, jazz, lo-fi, rock and hip-hop and covers a wide array of concepts in their music ranging from love, loss and longing all the way to fun stay-up-all-night party vibes with friends.

I developed a set of 3 posters for the band based off some impactful lyrics based off some of their hit songs. Each lyric that inspired the poster evokes a unique emotion and visual I saw in my head when each lyric was delivered and I wanted to capture that emotion/visual in each poster.

For the “When I’m With You, It Feels Like I’m Walking on Electric Air” - The delivery of this lyric in the song is in the form of a shoutout coming from an old static radio with an old-timey sounding voice. Upon hearing it immediately imprinted this visual of a vintage comic book cover in my head, and I knew I had to convey it. I hoped to hit a classic feeling of love and romance expressed in a vintage comic illustration style with strong typography.
