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

 

 

 

  

Some time ago I was working on a logo for a new Slovenian progressive rock band, Fish on Mars. While they're touring around successfully presenting their album I am finally sharing the logo design - accompanied by some symbols for each song on the album as well as the songs' titles.

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.

 

p.s. As movies have their soundtracks ... songs sometimes has its pictures (at least they form in my immagination while listening to some music). :) Inspired by the great Paolo Conte.

The 16th of September would have been the 90th birthday of B.B. King. Various musicians from the slovenian coast and beyond joined their forces for a tribue concert for the King of Blues, held in the legendary Snack Bar in Koper. 

The stylized illustration of the famous guitarist is accompanied with the silhouette of his guitar's, Lucille's, head. Basic black-gray-white palette combined with some higlights (in the bar's logo colour).

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

Variation on a theme: edition 2015. Lost and found. :)

Inspired by the old cinema (and gig announcement) boards - here it is, this year's concert flyer and poster.

"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!

A (re)fresh(ed) variaton - this year's Zgrabi zvok/Grab the sound workshop. :)

 

This year's tradicional concert of my home Big Band Hrošči / The Bug Orchestra will be a special one. In my physical absence the guys and girls are preparing some new (original) pieces. AND, most important of all, it's the Big Band's 10th anniversary! Feliz cumpleaños, Bugs! :)

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.
