I designed this poster for a SoFar Sounds show taking place in Culver City. I used an image of a sunset that I took and overlaid it onto a red and purple gradient to give it a moody effect. I used the typeface DecoNeue Light and tweaked in in Illustrator to give it some more character.  The supporting typeface is Hill House Medium. To finalize the design, I created geometric shapes in Illustrator to add some depth and interest to the background.

I had the opportunity recently to collaborate with SoFar Sounds and Amnesty International to create a poster design for their "Give a home" initiative in support of the world's refugees. 1,000 artists, 300 gigs, 60 countries, 1 day.

I've been doing Sofar Sounds posters for over a year now. I was very excited when this new project came up, to design a poster for Cold War Kids playing at Union Station, Los Angeles.

So Far Sounds L.A. had a show at MV Art Dept in my blossoming neighborhood of Mar Vista. I wanted to mimic the beautifully designed sign as you enter the store. Gorgeous geometric patterns of reclaimed wood, white paint, and steel. I am personally a big fan of MV Art Dept bringing murals and creative workshops to the neighborhood.

I designed this poster for a SoFar Sounds music show taking place in Santa Monica, CA. When I started the design, I wanted to do a play on the letters in SoFar Sounds to create the abbreviation "SAMO" within, short for Santa Monica.

I keep a Pinterest board called "harmonious hues" to keep a log of interesting color combos I'm drawn to. This helps when I'm designing to have some ideas to grab from.

I designed this poster for a SoFar Sounds show taking place in Culver City. I used a vintage image of Culver City, added a color halftone effect and overlaid it onto a seafoam green color.

I designed this poster for SoFar Sounds L.A.'s January 28 show. I found this great trendy typeface called Hill House Medium. I love the double bars of the and dots below the O's.
