The idea for the poster came from reggae music’s positive influence on the world. Reggae brings people hope and happiness, but it’s also an important channel for bringing up difficult issues. In the poster Jamaica is the heart of a light bulb, that lights up the rest of the world and universe with its positive and energetic reggae music.
I did a drawing of a rastaman representing the words through singing about freedom.
I used the colors of Jamaica’s three colors and I used a combination of thorn and mahogany to make the protest a musical.
A guitar is made up of people’s head. People’s thoughts become colorful because of reggae. You can see the notes of red, yellow and blue are interspersed in the mind. There are small patterns on the strings running through it. You can find that it was the Jamaica flag. When you look far away, you can see that the core of the poster was constructed with the color of the Jamaica flag to celebrate the great Jamaican music!!
I wanted to make a poster that is colorful, fun, powerful and full of story. That’s how I see reggae music as well. I think the most important message in reggae music is love for one another.
Colorful lines in the background represents the rhythm of the music and the warm feeling from listening it. Also you can see warmness spreading to the World from Jamaica. Big lion shows the strength and pride of reggae music culture.
reggae music, cheerful rhythm brings a relaxed feeling, through concise color and graphics, with a relaxed picture to convey the relaxed feeling of music.
Above music, peace and love
Reggae music blends all different cultures, which value lies in its rhythm and soul. The charm of reggae just like a storm, spreading quickly and strongly, leading people to enjoy life.
This poster is a manifestation of the song called Roots Rock Reggae from Bob Marley.
Love is the only thing that unites all people from any corner of the world. And I wanted to use this particular communication channel to show that this LOVE precisely the Messages from Jamaica to the World. Love, Listen, Create.
