Description
For
The City of
Glendale
’s
25th
Annual Gibson Jazz & Blues Festival
The
Office of Special Events has established a “collector
series” of posters for the City of
Glendale
’s Gibson Jazz & Blues Festival. The subject
selection and creative treatment focus the message and
imagery on music! We feel the final product does an
excellent job of communicating music as the most prominent
part of the event. We created this approach so attendees
would buy and frame these posters so our festival
maintains a share of mind in their lives and homes as a
treasured piece of collectible artwork!
In
2008 for our 25th Anniversary we designed a commemorative
version of our Artistic Poster featuring a mainstay
musical instrument, the Gibson Les Paul. We chose a
classic Les Paul style and painstakingly set it up and lit
it in the studio for a beautiful, artfully photographed,
poster image. The printing treatment of the poster
includes an embossed silver foil event logo stamp with
alternating matte and varnish finishes setting off the
beautiful wood finish of the guitar. In an effort to
ensure the poster’s attractiveness as a collectible and
not overwhelm it with information, all the performers are
subtly and very tastefully listed on the guitar strings on
the poster.
