FIELD TRIP

Created for a Skillshare class, participants were asked to design a concert poster for a real or fictional musical artist or event. I chose the annual “Field Trip” festival, to mark the 10th anniversary of the Arts & Crafts record label. (And unlike most music events, this was open to families and kids!)

 
 
 

Final package with Pedro “badonk” sticker design

 
 
 

Taking inspiration from the “field trip” name and family-themed event, I wanted to depict kid-friendly characters on a school bus trip.

 
 

Close-up of another Pedro sticker; the younger and smarter folks at my day-job tell me this face/finger gesture is called “UwU” and again reminded I am a clueless old person

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I was influenced by some of my favourite vintage children's book illustrators, including Richard Scarry, Alain Grée, and Alice and Martin Provensen.
