Indian Gig Poster Archive

Independent music has always been supported by a network of non-musical talent - filmmakers, photographers, art directors etcetera. Over the years artists and designers have been a big part of this system producing posters, merchandise, album art, music videos, live visuals and more. Created usually for love and little compensation, only a few gig posters make it off of the bands’/brands’ social media pages. Rather than let them die there, this archive collects and presents a huge repository of the visuals being created for independent Indian music, as well as a record of the people and studios producing this work.

I also created the logo for the site, a form inspired from the flag and added a subtle animation to it so it works as a visual anchor against the burst of colour and type that the poster grid forms.
