About the Project — Seedhe Maut 10-Year Tribute by Vismay Ashokan

This project was never about making a poster. It was about capturing the sonic chaos of a Seedhe Maut track and detonating it visually. Vismay set out to translate their sound into raw graphic energy—where every element becomes an echo of their music.
The distorted typography mimics mic feedback.
The rough textures mirror the concrete and grit of Delhi’s streets.

This isn’t just a celebration of a ten-year milestone—
it’s a monument to a decade of rebellion.
A piece that doesn’t inform you; it confronts you.
A true visual mosh pit.

Design Approach

Maximalist Visual Language

Vismay takes a high-impact, maximalist approach to mirror the duo’s aggressive, high-energy identity. The poster is intentionally loud—restless, abrasive, and unapologetically chaotic.

Typography as Sound

The headline type is heavily distorted and textured, functioning as both typography and graphic element. It channels a raw, non-conformist attitude, becoming the dominant force in the visual hierarchy.
Secondary information is set in a clean, condensed sans-serif to maintain clarity and balance amidst the chaos.

Composition & Hierarchy

A strict central alignment builds a bold, symmetrical layout that demands confrontation. The viewer’s focus is pulled straight into the core—first the headline, then the artists, and finally the supporting details.
Every shift in scale is deliberate, guiding the eye with controlled intensity.

Texture, Grit & Authenticity

Halftone patterns, grunge overlays, and degraded textures give the entire piece a low-fidelity, DIY character. The visual noise—reminiscent of underground zines and screen prints—injects depth and reinforces the raw, urban aesthetic at the heart of the concept.
