Banger Magazine brief

Recently, a friend who works for a design and research studio mentioned to me a brief she thought i'd like to complete! It was to create an illustration based on a band featured in a london listings music magazine called Banger Magazine. I thought this seemed like a pretty fun brief to complete, and as i'm interested in music already it really appealed to me.

this was the email I was sent over, along with the list  to choose from; which included bands and artists such as First Aid Kit, Moon Duo, Kendrick Lamar and James Blake, Alvvays, The Handsome Family, Hookworms and Dent May, and more! Some of them I was already familiar with, but I decided to do a little bit of research on each to try and find out who I wanted to base my illustration around. 

I did have to be pretty quick about this because of the tight deadline, and decided on the band Moon Duo, who were playing at a venue called The Garage.
