Symphony Party


Graphis Design Annual 2004

I've lost my original source data for this poster, but this is what I remember. It was a poster for the Pittsburgh or Philadelphia Orchestra advertising a dinner celebeating it's 75th year. The poster caught my eye because the idea of a party and an orchestra seems like an oxymoron to me. I think of an orchestra as being a very serious, subdued event - the complete opposite of a party with horns and noisemakers. I liked the simplicity of the poster's image. It's very clean, very eye-catching. I wonder, though about the readability of the copy. In the book, it is next impossible to read. Hopefully, the actual poster was readable.

I've seen similar mouthpiece art. My kids are sax players. It's cute.
