San Francisco Jazz Festival '69

Jazz music was in full swing during the 1960's, with festivals popping up all over the US and around the world. This poster was inspired by one such festival in Chicago. I relocated it to my home city of San Francisco and set the year to 1969. The color scheme is reminiscent of a Mondrian painting, which conjures up that mid-century style that was synonymous with jazz music. Several instruments featured in the quartet set appear here in the poster, stylized in LEGO. I hope you enjoy!
