Apparently the graphics for MareziJazz almost don't make it on time. ;)
Last year's: splashes of paint, vibrant like summer green and fruits.

 

 

 

  

Almost time for the new MareziJazz graphics, but it will have to wait a bit. :)
My "debt" from last year's festival. It was geometrical, playful, with a summer colour palette and a flexible pattern.

 

Playing with dots, patterns, textures. Summer colour palette. MareziJazz 2015.

"Something with colours. Something for this season," they said.

So, here it goes, light and fresh, with the taste of summer. For the 10th anniversary. Happy Birthday, MareziJazz!

It always feels nice to see how your work turns out in a physical form. Especially when it's done as it should be. :) Eventhough the organisation of MJ went through quite smoothly, I'm in my usual pre-event-thrilled-nervous-mixed-feelings-mood. But fortunately, I also know that in less than 24 hours this unpleasant feeling will be over. So - cheers to great music, nice people, relaxed atmosphere and the perfect boula*. :D

*Updating your drink vocabulary:
boula is a summer "coctail" made of (preferably red) wine, fresh peaches, sugar and some secret ingredients. ;)

Proudly presenting what I've been working on for last couple of weeks... [drum roll] MareziJazz graphics for this year's edition! :) Vintage texture, basic coloured lines, simple sans-serif font. And a bunch of great bands, as always.

 

About a month ago I designed a flyer/fb cover for a music group Toxine. The branches are borrowed from the graphics of their debute album, Ever Wordless - the flyer was made for Toxine's CD release concert in the middle of May, but the template will be used for some more future events.
P.S. The second flyer is actually a sequel of the first one - graphically speaking. ;) 

Annual concert of Big Band Hrošči/The Bug Orchestra (March 2013). The design sticks to the black and white combination, making it even more minimalistic. A clear font - slightly reminiscent of Art Nouveau styles - combined with a soft flow of small gray notes. As simple as that. :)

The design for MareziJazz 2012 icluded the rennovation of the web page, flyers, posters, concert program, wine labels, and also a new design for t-shirts.

Every march the local Big Band Hrošči (The Bug Orchestra) has its annual concert. The 2012 flyers and concert programs were in black and white with the continuate gray text (which was the slogan of the big band "born to be hrošč", the web address or other info) in the center on both sides.

MareziJazz is a traditional big band festival, which is organised in Marezige (village near Koper) every first weekend in July. For the 2011 edition the posters, flyers, web page, concert programs, wine labels and other graphic elements were in the black/orange combination.
