The Windy City Lindy Exchange, or WCLX, is an annual swing dance exchange hosted in Chicago by Chicago Dancers. One of the original cities to start Lindy Exchanges, (the type of swing dance, the “Lindy Hop”) Chicago’s WCLX is well known in the swing dance community and brings up to 300+ visiting dancers from all over the world from the San Francisco to Great Britian. The three day event usually has an afternoon, evening, and late night dance every day of almost uninterrupted dancing. Having been a dancer myself since 2003, I was very excited for the opportunity to design for one of the best known events in the Swing Dance community. Inspiration for the event took its cue from the 9, turning into Lindy Potion #9, a play on Love Potion #9. Working with my friend and co-designer Kristine Coplin we produced a design and logo from the Victorian Imperialism Era, a mix of gypsy mysticism for the “potion #9″ with elegance and importance with Victorian elements
