Joe Herrmann Illustration & Design
Ravinia Poster

Tools Used:

Adobe Illustrator

Year:

2023

Summary:

In 2023, I was honored to have won First Prize in Ravinia Festival's annual poster contest. My design was chosen for the venue's 2023 season poster. It was used in promotional materials and was available for purchase in the Ravinia gift shop and online.

Rough Draft

When the contest first begain seeking out entries, the theme was Turn Up The Joy. My initial design included this phrase, along with instruments sprouting up from the grass. This was done to express the pastoral nature of Ravinia Festival and its expansive lawn seating.

Final Draft

The final poster was created in collaboration with Ravinia's Associate Creative Director Chris Anderson. The phrase "Turn Up The Joy" was removed, the Ravinia logo was moved into the grass, and a cello was added to symbolize classical music.

Framed Poster

If you are so inclined, the poster is available to purchase from Ravinia here.
