Alane is my wife and was a musical performance major at the University of Oregon. I made the posters for her junior and senior recitals.
I didn't have much time when making the poster for her junior recital, so I focused more on color and composition instead of technical drawing skill. I'm really happy with this constraint and I think it turned out great! Later I used the design to make a quick website for her clarinet lessons.
The senior recital poster was more challenging and time consuming. I tried many new painting techniques, the most difficult of which was abandoning line art beneath the painting. I also used Photoshop's new 3D brushes and a 3D cylinder rendering for the bore of the clarinet.
