Christian Howes Folly Jazz Series Poster
In the rendering of the poster, I felt that Christian Howes’ music is personable, emotive, and energetic. Thus, I wanted the poster to relate to people on a basic tactile level. When the audience drives past this advertisement, I want them to be drawn to and curious about the energy and movement of the poster, and thus curious about Christian Howes.
