For this assignment we were given the choice to pick any artists to design a gig poster for. Once we had picked our specific artists, we had to research and make a creative brief. This project also required pieces of physical ephemera, a mind map, and 20 sketches.

Here is a creative brief that was filled out using research about the artist.

Below is a mind map that shows the brainstorming process of possible components that could be in the final poster design. There is also 20 different poster design sketches with the final sketch being based on sketch #20.

Below are photos used for the final poster design:

This is the final gig poster design. The design features the main artist as well as an ideal date and location of the event. Based on the creative brief this poster was created with the purpose to have an serene ambient jazz theme. I used a variety of images and tools through Adobe Photoshop to complete the composite.
