Designed this poster for the 2026 Fallout Fringe Festival, an art festival located in Las Vegas. When talking with the client, we discussed utilizing some sort of atomic bomb/nuclear imagery on the poster, whether it be a mushroom cloud from a nuclear explosion or some sort of rocket. I had the idea to create an atomic core, cracking and emitting a green glow, capturing the message that ideas are about to detonate at the festival. I referenced a lot of historical images of cores that were used for atomic bombs, including the Oppenheimer atom bomb core. I also referenced a lot of 80s horror film posters to see what color schemes were used and how they were textured.
