The World needs more Love, more Peace and more Reggae
The World needs more Love, more Peace and more Reggae
Since its inception way back in 1968, Reggae is the widest known Jamaican music genre in the world. It deserves to be seen and revered by us for its colorful, vibrant, strengthening and versatile style. My poster, in the form of a playing card – the King card, is designed to depict all these concepts, and shows how various instruments are encompassed to form a singular harmony. The king card concept is also a nod to Kingston in Jamaica, where Reggae music was culturally born.
When the music comes on, you can’t help but swing from side to side. Now, it’s the world of reggae music.
The poster presents Reggae music as musical coexistence in a civilizational context.
This poster is talking about the peace like a recurrent message from the jamaican music and one of the main concepts that gave to the music of the world. REGGAE = PEACE
This image comes from the idea that the rhythm of life comes from friends and family; and when that rhythm is harnessed for all to hear, then it is reggae. The lions’ pride represents the family whose auras exude the spirit of reggae, and the circle design is based off of the circle of fifths, representing music that is guided by and also guides our internal metronomes (heartbeat). The crown represents all music that holds the power to sway our mind and body. And finally: with that last statement in mind, the music notes are arranged to honor Bob Marley and the Wailers. They are the guitar’s notes for the introduction to Redemption Song. Bob Marley and the Wailers was not only my first glimpse at reggae music, but also one of the first inspirations for entering the world of music as a musician.
Reggae is more than just a way of life. It’s a force.It can make people feel free and happy, like the birds flying in the sky, everything in this world is limited, only music is infinite.When words cannot express our feelings, music helps us, in order to find the resonance of the heart, we feel the music with our hearts.
This poster shows us that reggae is another form of love. Using reggae-identical colour pallete and pattern transformation, it
shows us reggae is nothing but peace itself.
