These are some jazz posters I did for the Tour America office in Cork while the Cork Jazz Festival was on. They promote the less popular city destinations in southern America. I decided to go with the jazz style instead of the typical American fare. Key to this look was a sparing colour palette, asymmetric design, black and white photographs, musical reference and an art deco font to reflect the era of the 20s that spawned jazz.
This was a YouTube background that I designed for TourAmericaTV channel. The full effect of the graphic I made could only be seen on large monitors and so I learned to keep imagery smaller in future and more spread out so that more of the background image can be revealed with the increasing of screen size.
As you can see, I went hell for leather with American imagery and symbolism. It’s laid on fairly thick there, no subtlety while I’m on the job! America you say? You shall have it all!
Art deco and collage influences in there. I used this imagery again in future projects because I felt it could work elsewhere.
