Recently I’ve been commissioned by Mountain Town Music to create a few posters for their Spring concert series. This one is for the Brothers of the Baladi, an Oregon band that plays Middle Eastern inspired music. I’ve always been an advocate of sketching out your thoughts before touching a keyboard or mouse. While my sketches are by no means complete, having a direction in mind drastically cuts out the number of wrong turns a piece tends to take throughout the process. Above is the sketch that I submitted to the client illustrating the concept next to the final product. They loved it and I was able to move forward with the poster right away.
