A typographical interpretation of Queen’s breakthrough song from 1974.
The challenge was to represent a song Freddie Mercury originally wrote about a “high-class call girl”.

I chose to interpret the song literally, creating the poster in the fashion of a regal invitation. All ornaments are hand-drawn. The crowns adorning the header and footer are made up of musical notation, inspired by the logotype for Sweden’s Polar Music Prize.
