Created for a Skillshareclass, 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 & Craftsrecord 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.
