Feel Every Note
WAX, Calgary, Alberta, 2009
Description
These posters encourage people of all ages to gather in one space and experience live music by the Victoria Symphony. They aim to counter the current music-listening trends: increased segregation and commercialization. The hope is to restore a sense of community and keep traditional music alive and well.
The client wanted a friendly feel that reflected the organic nature of live music. The hand-drawn illustrations combine nature and instruments to show how music can affect listeners’ lives in a warm, positive way. A small run of posters was silkscreened by hand at a small print shop in Seattle.
Juror Notes
Nice concept of music nature/environment. Like the gentle, distressed feel throughout the series.
The texture in this series conveys the “Feel Every Note” theme. Very few hard edges.
