Learn to design a poster and turn it into a stereographic poster with 3D effects
Jorge Alderete—designer, illustrator, and graphic artist—has spent more than 25 years dedicating his art to music. His illustrations can be found on record covers, posters, and scenography, and it is also common to see him illustrate live at the shows of the band in which he plays the theremin, Sonido Gallo Negro.
Alderete enjoys exploring techniques and forms of creation, as this allows him to obtain new graphic results. In this course, discover his work process to make a rock poster, a support that has become one of his favorite means of expression due to the freedom it offers him when it comes to putting his ideas on paper. See how to create a poster from the sketch to the final design, and learn some tips to turn it into a 3D anaglyph image.

Argentine by birth, Alderete traveled from Patagonia to La Plata to study Visual Communication Design at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the National University of La Plata and has embraced his passion ever since.
His work has been published in various specialized anthologies, such as Illustration Now and Latin American Graphic Design (Taschen); Illusive, Pictoplasma, the Los Logos series, Latino, and Play Loud (Die Gestalten Verlag); and Place (Actar) and Kustom Graphics (Korero), among others; and his work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world.
He is the founder, together with Juan Moragues, of the record label Isotonic Records, which specializes in instrumental rock, and he plays the theremin in the musical group Sonido Gallo Negro and does live illustrations during the shows. He has designed more than 100 pieces of album art for groups such as Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Andrés Calamaro and Daniel Melero, Lost Acapulco, Twin Tones, and Los Straitjackets.
In 2008 he published his book, Yo soy un don nadie, in which he celebrates his first 10 years in CDMX. A year later, he founded the Vertigo Gallery together with Clarisa Moura. In 2012, two books that compile his work were published: Sonorama and Otro Yo. At the end of 2014, together with Harkaitz Cano and the Basque musician Fermín Muguruza, he published his first graphic novel, Black is Beltza.
