Capetownian band, Dustland Express, have reunited after an extended break, and commissioned me
to create a gig poster and social media set for their reunion show entitled "Rerailed" in March 2015.
 
The brief was fairly open ended, but the title "Rerailed" along with the headlining band "Dustland Express" immediately gave off the idea of a vintage stream train, with loads of steam, dust and coal surrounding it. The typography was all hand lettered to lend to the illustrated look, and to help all the elements work together well. Similarly, grayscale colours were used for an old-style feel throughout.
