This project was for a poster for the upcoming Evergreen Jazz Festival. For this poster, I wanted to use simple designs and colors to keep the poster simple and appealing to the eye. To accomplish this, I decided to use a dark green with a lighter green and light blue to compliment it. I used these colors as well as a handmade, simple art of trees and a river, plus some mountains, to create an outdoor scene. I used a simple black and white outline of a sax player to provide the jazz element and had it meld with the black mountains. Lastly, I used the three basic colors for the fonts and had them change hues in the opposite direction as a gradient that I applied to the background.
