Michigan

type design + illustration

Reimagined Song Titles from Sufjan Stevens' 2003 classic album Michigan.

Sufjan's rich storytelling and beautifully layered music stuck with me since the first time I listened. Michigan is now one of my favorite albums of his, and its long titles proved to be a fun exercise in hand-drawn type design.
