"Beastie Boys" demonstrates Fall's technical precision in traditional typography, with each letter meticulously hand-crafted using rapidograph pens, compass, and t-square. The vibrant background, rendered in colored pencil, evokes the energy of a music equalizer with its rhythmic vertical bars and floating spheres. This dynamic composition marries precise letterform construction with a playful color palette that captures the band's innovative spirit. The piece showcases Fall's ability to transform rigorous technical requirements into energetic, musical design.
