A jazz festival poster I designed in just under three days won the 2011 Detroit Jazz Festival Poster Competition held by the Detroit Jazz Festival board.
I decided to create an iconic image, in this case, the heart of the “D” with captivating colors and a vibe that would reflect the energy of jazz, rather than relying on the typical clichés of jazz festival forms—smoky saxophones, floating treble clefs, urban skylines or cafe scenes.
The artwork was featured on the 2011 Detroit Jazz Festival CD Sampler and the official line of festival merchandise.
