Silas Caldwell — WebsiteDesign directions for review

Two ways in.

Southern Gothic meets contemporary editorial, rooted in North Mississippi. The same story, music and photographs, told in two different worlds.

Direction A

Night

Almost entirely black, built around Joshua Black Wilkins’ portraits. Ivory editorial sections arrive as punctuation, with one color image on the page.

Direction B

Daylight

The warm ivory pages of an independent art magazine: masthead, contents and two-page spreads. The films section is the one dark room.

Shared by both

Palette & Type

Charcoal, Bone, Dust, Oxide and Brass. Cormorant Garamond for the voice, Libre Franklin for the practical details.

Photographs

Every image is a placeholder sized and lit for the licensed Joshua Black Wilkins portraits. Each one notes the crop and mood intended.

Brackets

Album and track titles, show dates, video titles and booking details appear as [brackets] until they’re supplied.

Ask client

Blue tags mark open questions — currently whether custom hand-lettering or folk-art symbols will be commissioned.
