TEKNOGABAL Flyer
The TEKNOGABAL flyer presents a graphic style strongly tied to the tekno party aesthetic, where the rawness of underground electronic music merges with a visual identity marked by repetition, contrast, and futuristic typography.
Composition
The design carefully balances the composition, with the visual focus on the subject’s face and shoulder in the lower half. Text is arranged around it to avoid clutter: the event name “TEKNOGABAL” is repeated three times at the top, creating a rhythm that echoes techno music. Date and time are placed in the upper corners, while venue and ticket details appear in a vertical blue sidebar on the right, which both organizes the information and anchors the layout visually.
Typography
The title “TEKNOGABAL” is set in NEMESYS Regular, a geometric, bold, and futuristic typeface with an industrial and digital character that aligns with electronic and tekno culture. Its repetition across three lines produces a visual rhythm, like a graphic echo, reflecting the repetitive and pulsating nature of the music.
The supporting text (date, time, and location) is set in Arial, a clean sans-serif typeface in bright blue. This ensures readability and clarity, while keeping the title as the dominant graphic element.
Color Theory
The color palette is based mainly on cool tones, specifically #3184b1 (deep cyan blue), #f9f1ff (soft white/lilac tint), and #090c09 (near-black). The dominance of blue creates a nocturnal, technological atmosphere, evoking club lights and the energy of a dark space illuminated by artificial flashes.
The contrast between the black background (#090c09) and the bright hues adds drama and directs attention to key areas of the poster (text and central figure). The use of white (#f9f1ff) in the main typography reinforces clarity and boldness, while the varied shades of blue (#3184b1) convey dynamism, vibration, and movement — a visual echo of sound frequencies and rave aesthetics.
Overall style
The flyer effectively reflects the aesthetic of a tekno party at Heliogàbal, a well-known bar in Barcelona. The combination of dark imagery, cool lighting, futuristic typography, and clear graphic structure directly evokes the world of urban raves: clandestine, intense, and full of energy.
