Music knows no boundaries and it is a bridge that connects people around the world.
Reggae is music that makes our world better. It doesn’t matter what you look like, where you come from, what religion you follow, or the color of your skin; we’re all human beings and we can listen reggae music.
The poster is a visual reference to reggae dub music; to its space, depth and vibrations.
Music gives the world color.
Reggae brings meaningful message through songs to the world
Over a powerful chromatic background with an African/dreadlock connotation, are drawn 3 signs: The crown represents the yellow, the African wealth, and the relation with Ethiopia and its beliefs. The heart represents the red, the blood, the love, the feeling, and the kindness. The marihuana leave represents the green, the nature, the rites, the reflexive character, and the spirituality.
Listening to light music, all the troubles with the music and make people forget all the unpleasant things. Music should be inspiring and entertaining. Everyone can enjoy the happiness brought by music!
The brief asked for a poster design exploring how reggae and other Jamaican music impacted the world, and how it incited social and political change. Historically, reggae encompasses a notion of non-aggressive rebellion. Social and political injustices were called out and those being discriminated against could rally behind the music.
The poster employs a neo-expressionistic art style which captures the raw emotion of reggae, as well as the inherent authenticity. Neo expressionism also has a history of portraying themes of anti-establishment and protest. The loose depiction of Bob Marley acts as a figurehead for all of reggae. Marley was one of the most powerful individuals in the reggae scene, and played a part in bringing reggae and it’s message to the world. “Love and prosperity” was the phrase he used when uniting the two opposing UK political party leaders onstage. This is the truest example of reggae’s message and it’s power. Uniting people despite their differences. One love.
Reggae music means excitement, joy and energy. This poster is a world of colors combined with yellow, red and green. Yellow is more for the world to hope for peace and beauty. And that lion that symbolizes reggae music that is lovely.
