JazzFest has decided to keep a common theme each year, and since my flaming guitar was so popular last year, that is what they are building it around. Not sure who did the revamp this year but it WASN’T ME, I hate hippies, jam bands, petuali oil and the Grateful Dead.

i made that.
ha.
just kidding i accept and respect hippies, jam bands and patchouli, but still think it’s kinda ugly art.
I think it is festive, and that is what is important. It is a great event.
I would change a couple of things with it though. I would have probably put the lettering in the same place as last year to have some consistency and I would have used flowers on the face of the guitar instead of in the flames. but otherwise I like the vibrant colors and the flames are really well done. I’m sure it was a ‘team’ effort by one of our esteemed ad agencies in town.
he he. yeah. i think the type is a little clunky. the key to the success of that kind of type is VERY tight spacing, and i think it got a little sloppy. i could fix that right up in illustrator 🙂
