My poster is a tribute to Koffee, who is the first woman to win a grammy award in the Best Reggae Album category for 2019. Koffee music brings back memories of the first masters of reggae music, although Koffee is only 20 years old. That is why this young promising singer deserves her place in The Reggae Hall Of Fame. The graphic form chosen by me is also a reference to the old school of graphic arts.
For me the most important thing about Reggae or any genre of music is to just enjoy it. This is universal. Just love it for whatever reason you like. I always focused more on the instrumental side of music and my favourite Reggae genre is Dub. I love it’s minimalism, grittiness and unpredictability. In my poster I tried to pay homage to the DIY Dub scene also including self made, monochromatic posters and record covers which I really like.
Reggae is music full of fun, positive vibrations, child’s joy, which is a source of love.

Music is something which heals almost everything. It is almost impossible to find someone who doesn’t feel a connection to music. In this poster, I tried to represent that reggae musing is spreading love and peace to the world, so people can connect to it. Love and peace lead to happiness. In this design, Pigeons (represent peace) are carrying the symbol of love and spreading it to the world. Green, yellow and red is associated with reggae music. Eyes of the lion in speakers of tape recorder represent the authenticity of the music. The overall idea of the design is to spread love and peace through reggae music, evoke happy memories and raise people’s spirits.
The wind brings notes, the sound of water is like a quiet voice, and the sky gives rise to a melody. All nature in its unique beauty creates music. The music is reggae.
