The Challenge
As a fledgling band with few resources, we are responsible for contacting venues and marketing our concerts. We want to appeal visually to the types of listeners who might enjoy our music and make graphics that suit the tone of the songs. moondial is a creative sandbox in more ways than one; the project is all about the joy of creation and isn't relegated to any one design style or convention. (Generally we lean towards bold type and distressed media). We've needed everything from silly Instagram reels to polished electronic press kits, and the ability to do that media work "in-house" has been integral to our growth.
The Solution
Graphics and media play a role in our success as a band; we aren't looking to headline stadiums, but we want to share our art with the local scene. We've grown our online audience from ~90 to 1,900 followers, headlined the Fox twice, and (most importantly to us) made a bit of a name for ourselves in the local music scene. As the project grows, we've been finding more opportunities--which goes hand-in-hand with posters and social media posts to promote events.
