C. Prize Winner
Annual art poster competition for the NN North Sea Jazz Festival. This competition was an elective given by the Willem de Kooning Academy. I participated and won in the year 2021. Sadly due to Covid, the festival got postponed to the year 2022. My poster still got used and sold that year, however there was a slight change to it. The original intention was to screenprint it in neon green and orange, but this couldn’t be realized in the timeframe. The pink/blue-ish variant is the final one, and still feels very electronic and dynamic, after getting the opportunity to change the colors for CMYK.
The goal was to create a distinctive poster for the festival that was different from all previous ones. Jazz nowadays can be very diverse and even electronic. I’ve noticed non of the previous posters focused on this, so I wanted to work with it.
