Had the time of my life doing this beauty. I absolutely love art history and when I got the opportunity to design a dance poster the first thing that came to my mind was the artist Degas. He was famous for painting ballerinas in the late 1800’s. I wanted to use his work as a traditional twist on the modern dance posters I was designing. He uses a really painterly style which is really modern and his color palette is amazing. I used several of his painting to fill in the letters to build interest that had symbolism in it. The theme was unwritten so I did a little play on that with the stacking of the large letters making it a little harder to read as well as the missing letters in the word below each letter. They turned out really cool. As far as my inspirational song, I am OBSESSED with this cover by Bastille. They have a whole album that is just covers and most of them are amazing. Love this band.
