ALBUM & CONCERT GRAPHICS

-



DIRECTIONS.
Using fonts/type/typography that you have access to, create a concert poster/album cover, or something music-related that you love.

 NOTE.
Each of you are likely to have different software on different devices. You might be limited in some way, so do what you can.
...and remember, it's not always about the tools, but rather your willingness and creativity. 

 We will spend this week and next on this challenge. 
If you choose an album cover this week, choose a concert poster next week. 
Choose any genre, artist, etc. - modern or classic...even classical. 
Make up tour dates, catch phrases, etc.
Use photos & graphic from online, but make sure they are high resolution. 
Think about the TONE and SPIRIT of the music you're advertising. Choose typography that mirrors the tone and spirit of the music. Matching typography to the artist is important. 

 Remember: https://pixlr.com/ will allow you to layer images and text in a way that a phone app may not. 

Have fun with this.
