Ghost Quartet is a musical theater production created by Dave Molloy best described as "a song cycle about love, death, and whiskey." A camera breaks and four friends drink in an interwoven tale spanning seven centuries, with a murderous sister, a treehouse astronomer, a bear, a subway, and the ghost of Thelonious Monk.
With the challenge of a highly complex storyline that is non-linear, cyclical, and completely interwoven, I narrowed the scope of the visuals to focus on one of the story's core symbols: a telescope and stars, representing the relationships between the characters of Rose, Pearl, and The Astronomer. However, it was important to me to retain the concept that this story takes place across multiple timelines, cultures, and locations. Because of this, I chose to use a collage font, swapping out letters as needed to represent the medley of musical genres, places, and characters in the production.
This visual identity system is type-forward, with the goal of accommodating large amounts of text with vector artwork and photography playing a supporting role.
