Temeraire vs. Lien His Majesty's Dragon

Another drinking dj with an indie problem

The Story behind

Markus aka DJ !mauf has been DJing for over 15 years. He is based in Dresden-Neustadt and his preferred genres are Indie and Rock. I love visiting his events and wanted to practice working with figma (I was used to Xd). I mainly adapted the design from his “I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor”-Party series and gave it a new, refreshing look while keeping the same “!mauf feeling”.

The Story behind

I began the project by analysing what makes !mauf, well, !mauf. What colours and typefaces are used? How does he like to DJ? By using colours that are similar to the ones he is currently using, I ensured the visual recognisability that people are already used to. Same same, but different. Adding the vinyl shape as a graphic and a gradient abstracted from an audio wave gave everything a visual connection to music.
