I wanna show the strength, kingship and pride of being African by representing a Lion with a music boom box and a headset represent their love on music and style with a touch of a sunglasses representing the calming and cool vibes of their music. I got the title from showing the lion’s head which is shape of a heart while the boombox and the headset shows the beat of the heart like a stethoscope where you hear the heart beat of a person.
In my design, I have depicted a dreadlocked woman with her hair covering her face, wearing a blue set of headphones, a red shirt with a heart, and gold charms in her hair. Above her head reads ” We’re Jammin!” in green and red, with golden music notes floating. Finally, she has pink lips and a white line across her neck showing the vibrations flowing through her from the music.
This heartwarming atmospheric poster is another way I’m exploring the Reggae phenomenon. The backdrop is the beginning of 80s – me sitting in a sunny living room in my birth town Riga, being 3 years old, playing with the swedish cubes, retro music on the background. I’m happy! I love this design, brings me back to that moment.
Let’s feel reggae,feel happy and love.
While I was creating this poster, i felt really inspired by the little prince story from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry book. I wanted to tell, that reggae world is like a different planet, is something that is always near us and its always somewhere close, doesn’t matter where you are, in which part of our planet. Reggae music is something unique, something like from a different universe, but in the same time feels so natural, like the beat of our hearts. It’s teaching us how to be better persons, like the little prince does.
We’re Jammin is a poster that was inspired by the works of Keith Haring and other line artists.
This is a typographic poster design. In the poster it simply gives the message `Reggae Music Will Make you happy’ in a creative design. So, the message is that Reggae music is a therapy that can change a person’s mood into happy. The ultimate message from the poster to the world is, whatever mood you’re on, whatever situation you’re in, listening to reggae will makes you happy. With happiness there is peace.
Colors used are the colors of reggae culture.
A type-based atmospheric Dancing Poster is another way I’m exploring the Reggae phenomenon. This Poster isn’t afraid to get dirty, minimal and explore a literal twist from the center outwards. The challenge was to capture a very particular vibe and aesthetic with no other visuals but letters and textures. The backdrop is the beginning of 80s – me sitting in a sunny living room in my birth town Riga, being 3 years old, playing with the swedish cubes, retro music on the background. I’m happy! I love this design, brings me back to that moment.
The composition is radial, showing the center guitar. Refering to the classic scene in the animation work, the birth of Lion King Simba, the baboon holding up the guitar, representing the king of music.
This is how Reggue resonates inside my eardrums
