The lion, the dove symbolizing peace and the text elements of reggae music were integrated into the design of the poster of reggae music festival. Red, yellow and green, representing the colors of Jamaica, were used as the theme colors. The design showed the good times brought by music and peace and people’s longing for a better life.

This heartwarming atmospheric poster is another way I’m exploring the Reggae phenomenon. The backdrop is the beginning of 80s – me sitting in a sunny living room in my birth town Riga, being 3 years old, playing with the swedish cubes, retro music on the background. I’m happy! I love this design, brings me back to that moment.
No matter the genre, music takes a big role in bonding people all over the world together, music can express emotions and meaning that can be shared and make other understand the message that the artist is trying to convey easier, able to spread the message worldwide. That is what my illustration is about, Reggae music and its message are being shared to the world, creating a difference and, spreading love globally from people to people sharing music to their friends/ family/ public.
I wanna show the strength, kingship and pride of being African by representing a Lion with a music boom box and a headset represent their love on music and style with a touch of a sunglasses representing the calming and cool vibes of their music.
