Modern Classical Music Posters

The inspiration for this project came from research I was doing on the Romantic composer and performer Paganini for a paper. I saw a 19th century playbill for one of his performances, and wanted to recreate it as a modern-day poster. I used the style of a Colby Poster, which I have long admired for their design and typography. The result is bright, vivid, and modern-looking posters for actual historical classical performances.

All posters were created in Adobe Illustrator. Research was done for colors and fonts used.

Inspiration playbills with details of the performers, the pieces they performed, location, date, etc.

Some examples of "Colby Posters," which I used as inspiration.
