Event poster: A Fusion of Hip-Hop and Japanese Culture
Objective:
Creating a poster of a musical event for a renowned artist Thomas Mraz, with a theme for hip-hop and Japanese culture.
Idea:
The decision to depict the rising sun, dark shades, and red circles on the poster for the hip-hop concert in Japanese style was carefully considered to evoke a sense of cultural fusion and dynamic energy.
Rising Sun: The rising sun is a powerful symbol deeply ingrained in Japanese culture, representing renewal, hope and the beginning of a new day. By featuring the rising sun on the poster, I aim to convey a sense of optimism and excitement, inviting viewers to embark on a new musical journey infused with the spirit of Japan.
Dark Shades: The dark shades in the background serve as a dramatic contrast to the vibrant hues of the rising sun, creating a visually striking composition that captures attention and sets the stage for the concert. This contrast also symbolizes the duality inherent in hip-hop music—the juxtaposition of light and shadow, rhythm and silence, tradition and innovation.
Red Circles: The red circles, reminiscent of the Japanese flag's sun disc, add depth and symbolism to the design. In Japanese culture, the color red is associated with vitality, passion, and power, while circles represent unity and harmony. By incorporating red circles into the background, I reinforce the theme of cultural fusion and celebrate the dynamic energy of hip-hop music as it intersects with Japanese tradition.
Together, these elements—the rising sun, dark shades and red circles—combine to create a visually captivating poster that not only captures the essence of the concert but also invites viewers to immerse themselves in a multisensory experience where music, culture, and art converge in perfect harmony.
