Designed for Swing Dance Bristol

Bristol Rhythm and Roots

I was commissioned recently to design a poster for a weekend event called 'Bristol Rhythm and Roots'. We were looking to design something that reflected the roots of swing dance, whilst retaining a 'vintage' look. The client also wanted a lot of space in the poster, and to keep the info short and sharp.

The Electroswing Express

Here is my latest poster design for 'The Electroswing Express'. A night of charleston, international DJ battles, dance and live electroswing band Lamuzgulule on tour from France. I took inspiration from posters and book jackets of the 1930s, in particular those of Theodore G Haupt, and a little dash of film noir, bringing it into the 21st century with some hints of Diesel Punk.

Thoroughly enjoyed making this poster!
