My goal for the gig poster was to reflect his journey as an artist. I incorporated his old iPhone, the device he used to create music, which ultimately led to his work being honored in the Smithsonian Museum.

Gig poster I made for the music artist Steve Lacy. It repeats his name 5 times in different colors on in the background with the time and date in between it. There's a broken phone on top.

I scanned this phone and used the broken screen as a texture for my illustration.

These are options I explored that didn’t make it into the final project.

I tried having the poster be in the shape of a phone, but I struggled to execute the idea. So instead, I made the phone the focal point on the concert floor. I later changed the layout to fill in the space.
