I designed my poster for the Folly Theater Jazz Series featuring the musician John Pizzarelli and his Quartet. Pizzareli is a modern day Sinatra with heavy influences from Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, and Bucky Pizzarelli his father. Pizzarelli is also known for his revitalization of the great american song book. Bringing many classic american jazz songs back into prominence along with a new contemporary audience. He is known for his guitar playing and vocals equally. His voice and signature guitar sound are what truly makes him John Pizzarelli. For that reason I have chosen to represent him with a metaphor of a classic microphone from the era of his inspiration and father with an exact copy of his seven string signed guitar that he plays with at every show. The rendering style that I chose to hand drawn the composition in is contemporary and I believe it will help draw the attention of the youthful crowd of next generation of jazz lovers. The blue background complimenting the orange guitar I believe will really help the two objects pop out in the composition catching the eye of viewers as far away as in their cars driving past the Folly Theater.
Billboard supplemental.
