NO MUSIC IS AN ISLAND
The inspiration behind this poster comes from my love and admiration of the Jamaican Soundsystem and it’s massive influence around the world. The messages that a Soundsystem brings to the dance are not only the local issues but universal in nature, sometimes it can be musical, political, or spiritual. The dj as the word. The selector as the sound. The soundsystem as the power.
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.
The classical hand sign of peace with the three representative colors of reggae and expressive strokes, as a strong representation of the spirit of the reggae movement: peace, kindness, humanity. Over this hand, Bob Marley’s three little birds are hanging out.
The idea behind this poster is an attempt to capture the essence of Reggae culture and its footprint in all 4 corners of the world. Creating a surreal character allowed me to combine various elements from the Jamaican music history. All these elements together as a character that travels the world and spreads the message of reggae music!
I would like to make a happy and colorful poster, because the reggae is happy and colorful for me. My central motif is a crocodile with the instrument of it.
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.
The main intention of this lettering is not to spread a violent message, as Bob Marley neither wanted to do that. We just wanted to make a tribute to this great song, and reivindicate all the police abuse, all the politicians abuse all over the world … because of that we don ́t wanted to forget the next phrase of the song, speaking of self defense, that is the only thing they have left for us.
Combine reggae elements with this theme , “Reggae music, Message From Jamaica to the world” Expresses a relaxed and lively feeling, symbolizing the reggae spirit, music, love, freedom and happiness. I also hope that this poster will make more young friends like the art and culture of reggae
