SoFar Sounds Poster Design: 09.20

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.

L.A had several shows featuring notable artists like Broods, Borne, Moby, and more. We decided to go and see The Naked & Famous in downtown. It was an intimate setting of about 50 people watching this acoustic set. Magic! and Faarrow killed it with their amazing vocals. Then TNAF came on and had the whole place memorized. 

This event had the aim of uniting people to welcome refugees, featuring many artists who are refugees themselves, or whose parents were. We all deserve to have a place to call home.

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 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.

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.
