Cyndi Lauper | Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour
Designing a poster for an icon on her farewell tour isn’t just another assignment it’s a chance to create something that honors a decades-long legacy while contributing to Hatch Show Print’s own history with the artist. Hatch has made multiple posters for Cyndi Lauper over the last 30–40 years, including one of the earliest designs Jim Sherraden produced for her Vanderbilt performance. That lineage was in the back of my mind: how do you create something new when so much has already been said?
For this piece, I drew from the vibrant, defiant energy that defines her career, bold tour colors, her iconic shifting hair tones, and the electric confidence that has made her a generational touchpoint. I incorporated a lightning bolt as a nod to her electrifying presence on stage and her 2025 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It felt like the right intersection of homage and evolution: grounded in Hatch’s tradition, but unmistakably crafted for this moment in her story.

Highland Rim Capital — Investment No. 3
This poster is part of a three-print series commissioned by Highland Rim Capital to celebrate a sequence of major investments. Each poster in the series needed to have its own identity while still feeling unmistakably Hatch Show Print.
For the third installment, the investment involved a housing and property group, so I leaned into a literal but effective visual: a house silhouette built entirely from type. Highland Rim provided a dense amount of text, so the house becomes both a symbol and a container — a structure filled to the brim with information, echoing the complexity of the deal itself.
Balancing hierarchy, texture, and legibility inside that tight silhouette became the core design challenge. I treated the type almost like framing lumber: stacking, locking, and aligning elements until the composition felt architectural and sound. The result is a poster that stands apart from the first two in the series while still carrying the energy and craft of a Hatch Show Print job.
