CA: Duke Ellington Poster

Problem: The Everett Symphony wanted something different for their Duke Ellington concert.

Solution: I listened to Ellington's music as I designed this poster. I chose Ellington's silhouette with his famous top hat as a focal point thinking that it would be well recognized by the audience. I added texture for interest and chose to contrast red with blue to grab the viewer's attention (much like Ellington's music is hot and cold).

Responsible for: illustration and poster layout.
