The evolution of a poster

5 Feb 2013

One of the joys of the music program is getting to work with artists on show posters. Coming soon are the Kahil El’Zabar and Hamiet Bluiett posters, designed by Brice Beasley (whose thoughtfulness and enthusiasm affirms our theory that poster designers are AWESOME). Here are some drafts of poster, from concept to comp to finished design, as Brice added more texture and played around with the colors a bit. They’ll be in the shop at the end of February.
