ONE BOB | United States
4th of 4 portrait posters I’ve created for this contest so far. Because the theme is being the ‘Messages from Jamaica” I’ve decided to craft a series of posters briefly based on a mail-stamp format. I wouldn’t hide the fact I worked extra hard on crafting a portrait using a sophisticated color-scheme and all my expertise in a portrait field to achieve nothing but epic and delicious poster to all the emotional taste buds. Recently my graphic art was picked as a BEST OF BOB MARLEY tracks album cover working for a Tuff Gong record company he established which now belongs to Ziggy Marley. I’ve gone through tons of BMs photography. The one black & white photograph I worked from as a base for this design stood out to me because of an emotion he conveys and a smoky eyes which was a challenge to re-create in color. The dots in a top right corner translates as REGGAE in Braille.

Reggae goes everywhere, Reggae colors the world | Italy
Reggae is, perhaps, the music that best interprets life, with all its contradictions and feelings: injustices and magnitudes, peace and anger, emotions and desires. This music, connecting body and mind, conveys profound messages using a unique rhythmic energy. This is the reason why its success has reached remote places and has influenced many musical genres across the globe. I have tried to represent this phenomenon through a vinyl (reggae music) that paints the world with a new energy and that, thanks to its messages, can inspire a deeper global awareness about important issues such as iniquity, love, endurance and human spirit.
