Created by MarcusMackey.

Project was to create a typographical solution for a favorite artist, musician, quote or song lyric. I chose Jimi Hendrix and created a portrait using the lyrics from several of his songs to create his face.

Hendrix Visual

An exciting drawing from Crumbnumber1 at Fiverr.com

I wanted to visualize Jimi’s ability to transcend sound with his guitar and really excite the listener’s brain to a level we don’t experience with most other things. He stands out.

Jimi Hendrix Stencil by Cavalera

The biggest stencil Cavalera has ever done. His tribute to the greatest. It took him 6 days to cut the stencil and 3 days to paint. It rained on one of the days which is why the hair is a bit odd.

It’s made up of 3 stencils. One for the guitar, one for the sig and the main one for Jimi Hendrix himself.

Jimi Hendrix by Kubah

For his typography class, Kubah had to make by hand a poster that represented a decade of his choosing, so he chose the late 60s.The type had to represent the era as well. It was stapled to a bainbridge board.
The afro says “Jimi Hendrix experience”

The words surrounding Hendrix’s face say “When I was a little boy, I believed that if you put a tooth under your pillow, a fairy would come in the night and take away the tooth and leave a dime. Now, I believed in myself more than anything.”

The bubbles say “one night only” on the left and  “Friday may 10th” on the right.

Between the bubbles it says “independence hall”.

Jimi Hendrix was born in Seattle on 27 Nov 1942. Known throughout the world following his appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. He also appeared at Woodstock and The Isle of Wight festivals in 1969 and 1970.

His most famous band was The Jimi Hendrix Experience which he played in with Noel Redding on bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums. His first single was “Hey Joe”.

Jimi was known for some extravagent acts like setting his guitar on fire and playing with his teeth and behind his back.

He was almost as well known for his clothes and style as he was for his music, wearing many brightly coloured headscarves, rings, badges and often hats.

He was most famous for his guitar playing and his guitar of choice was the Fender Stratocaster. He was left handed but always played right handed guitars, upside down, and restrung so the thick strings were at the top.

Jimi was into guitar effects like the Wah Wah pedal and other custom made effects devices.
