A few months ago I participated to a contest to design inaugural poster competition for the Don’t Miss a Beat Jazz Festival in Jacksonville Florida, happening this upcoming July 24th 2021.
Although my design was not selected, I wanted to share it and explain my creative process.
It was one of my first time creating with very specific directives, and I found it fun to do so!
I wanted to celebrate women’s contribution in Jazz and that is why drew a lady playing trumpet.
Her pose is a “clin d’oeil” to Miles Davis iconic pose, and her hair the shape of the city borders.
The background was inspired by Jacksonville flag.
Check out the pictures below!
Congratulations to local visual artist Carolyn Audije
