About the final project for: Illustration for Music Lovers

Illustration for music lovers

“It's up to say goodbye to the band and recapitulate everything we've learned during the course: - First we have chosen the group on which we were going to make the poster. We needed to know him well, so we have compiled all the possible graphic and musical information about him. - Next we have brainstormed based on the group's information and we have compiled related images. - With all this, we have launched a basic sketch and then a collage in Photoshop. - After practicing with brushes, the time has come to get down to work: from our collage, we have started to build the background by applying the color palette. - Next we have illustrated our main characters / elements. - The time has come to work on the texts and for this, we have customized them by making them compatible with the graphic line of the poster. - We have incorporated some secondary but vital elements to compensate and balance both the composition and our color palette. - Finally we have given the final touches to finish enhancing our design. - We only had to print it and show it with pride. This is the end of this course, I hope you enjoyed it and discovered and learned new ways of working and new techniques. See you at concerts and in the forum! ”

Illustrator and Designer

Oscar Giménez is a hopeless illustrator. He is permanently dissatisfied, although fortunately, after 13 years in the profession, he no longer believes in perfectionism, nor in luck. He does believe in dedication, slow cooking, and music as the best opium, so much so that he also co-directs a music magazine in the spare time that he doesn't have and devours concerts as if he were paid for it.

He was born in Barcelona and welcomed by Madrid. If you look closely, you will be able to see his work in the press, in publicity, on television, in murals, on book and magazine covers, and on records and posters. If you don't pay attention, it may be he who is watching you, because his restless head is an exhausting catalog of references of all kinds. He's not a genius, although the coats look good on him and that can throw you off from afar. Some of his clients are Adobe, Playboy, Universal Music, Rolling Stone, Audi, Heineken Music Selector, Telecinco, El País, and The National Magazine Company, among others.

In his music posters he has illustrated Elliot Brood, Pumuky, Vivian Girls, The Human League, No Age, Crystal Fighters, and many more.
