Welcome to Night Vale Poster
Fall 2020
A poster based off the podcast “Welcome to Night Vale” created by Joseph Fink and Jeffery Cranor in 2012. It is a surrealist, horror-comedy presented as a in-town radio show. This poster represents the series typographically. I wanted this poster to reflect the look of a vintage postcard, something to invite the viewer into this odd community. Each Illustration in the letters have something to do with a plot point in some episodes.

“Khoshekh Gershwin-Palmer is a floating cat who resides about four feet above the ground next to the sink in the men's (now unisex) bathroom of the Night Vale Community Radio Station.”
“Hiram McDaniels is a blogger, a former fugitive charged with insurance fraud, and a former candidate for mayor of Night Vale. He escaped police custody after being pulled over for speeding and giving the Sheriff's Secret Police an obviously fake driver's license. He is also literally a gigantic five-headed dragon.”
“The Glow Cloud (all hail) was an eternal deity predating reality and formerly served as the president of the Night Vale School Board.”
