Rocky Mountain Gothic Aspen Modernism Colorado International Style

Robert Meyers-Lussier · Digital Art - Digital Poster Art From Original Photography

Rocky Mountain Gothic: Aspen Modernism, Colorado International Style takes the visual identity of the Plated Jams single into the design vocabulary that Colorado inherited when European modernism arrived in the mountains. The design draws on the Aspen Institute era, when Bauhaus-trained designers reshaped Colorado resort and cultural promotion around flat geometry, hard-edged mountain forms, disciplined grids and confident sans-serif display type. A winding orange road connects Glen Haven to Estes Park across layered peaks in slate blue, deep teal and midnight navy, while oversized lettering delivers Take the Long Way with the authority of a highway billboard. Weathered cream, burnt orange and blue-green hold the palette to the analog print character of the period.
