Stadia

Dylan Healy's music envelops listeners in a wave of atmospheric folk, each note and lyric weaving a rich tapestry of dreamscapes and introspection. To encapsulate this essence for the Stadia Project, I embarked on a visual journey, translating the spirit of Healy's sound into a dynamic digital portrait.


This digital portrait employs an expressionistic style to embody the essence of Healy's ambient folk music. Facial features are deconstructed and reassembled with vibrant hues: saturated reds reflect the warmth of his voice, blues capture the contemplative nature of his lyrics, and interspersed greens suggest the authenticity of his music. A bright gradient background evokes the dreamy, atmospheric quality that defines his genre.


This piece laid the groundwork for the entire project, serving as the cornerstone of its identity and informing every aspect—from colors and textures to typography and overall look and feel. Its cohesive and evocative design elements defined the aesthetic, shaping a consistently immersive experience throughout.
