Title
Folly Jazz Series: Vanguard Jazz
Orchestra
Description
My process was to create a
collage that was playful, experimental, dynamic, and was a visual
representation of a jazz arrangement. I wanted the music to explode off of the
sheet music paper background. The colors then introduced are visual
representations of repetition, phrasing, tone, and the band's history dating
back to 1966. Lines that were kept black reference classical music notation
such as the staff.
Objective
1. Author content in a way that
best exemplifies the appropriate and creative use of the following rhetorical
figures: irony, pun, parody, metonymy, metaphor, allegory, hyperbole,
personification, antithesis, or synecdoche.
2. Cleary communicate the message
(jazz concert) for the intended audience (new) and context (Folly theater).
3. Exemplify refined and engaging
image making, typography, hierarchy, composition and color sensibilities.

How Adobe Products Were Used
Adobe Photoshop was used to edit
the initial black and white collage that I created. The program allowed me to
structurally fix and change the collage. Photoshop also gave me the ability to
add color and texture; tying my poster closer to the historical aesthetic I was
aiming for. Adobe Illustrator was used to place the text.
