Musilk is an independent poster design project to express classical music by graphics and typefaces, this poster is the final one of the project, with the theme of Les Préludes, Liszt’s Symphonic Poem No.3. Symphonic poem is a single movement symphony invented by Liszt, which emphasizes the dramatic and lyrical nature of music. His Les Préludes expresses the view of French poet Lamartine that “life is the prelude to death” by using a triplet thematic motive to make a rich and imaginative variation.The poster design only uses the music title Les Préludes for typography. Different typefaces in the layout are transformed from the scenes that I associated from different paragraphs in the music, depicting the visual sense beyond the musicality and literary quality contained in this symphonic poem in a poetic way. Elements in the poster create a sense of space at different viewing distances, restoring the grand atmosphere of the music.
Musilk是一個自發的海報設計項目，旨在用圖形和字體來表達古典音樂。這張海報是這個項目的最後一張，主題是Les Préludes，既李斯特的第三部交響詩“前奏曲”。交響詩是由李斯特發明的一種單樂章交響曲，強調音樂的戲劇性和抒情性，他的這部“前奏曲”僅用一個三連音的主題動機進行豐富的、充滿想象的變奏，表達出了法國詩人拉馬丁“人生是走向死亡的前奏”的觀點。海報設計也僅用樂曲標題Les Préludes進行編排敘事：版面中不同字體的標題由我對樂曲中不同段落聯想的場景變形而來，以一個詩意的方式描繪出這部交響詩包含的音樂性和文學性之外的畫面感；海報中大小虛實的元素調動起觀看視線的遠近而帶來空間感，還原了樂曲的宏大氛圍。
