About The Phoenix Poster

Ny Phoenix dia sary mpanazava fototra natao ho an'ny akademia sy fetim-boky momba ny mozika any Taipei. Ny sary eo afovoany dia mampitambatra ny onjam-peo mozika miaraka amin'ny endrik'ilay violona, mamorona vorona Phoenix mamelatra ny elany. Ny onja volomboasary eo afovoany dia mampiseho ihany koa lelafo, izay maneho ny ezaka sy ny fahazotoan'ny mpitendry mozika sy ny mpiasa. Ny fototra manga maizina dia noforonina avy amin'ny tsipika miolakolaka izay mampahatsiaro ny ranomasina sy ny onjam-peo. Ny poster dia natao manontolo tamin'ny tsipika sary, tsy misy sary an-tsary noraisina, amin'ny alalan'ny fampiasana blend modes ao amin'ny rindrambaiko fanamboarana sary.

Tags: Visual design, poster design, layout design, key visual design, graphic design.
Production Technology: In adobe photoshop, the designer could choose a blend mode group.
She used lines to make two different shapes of images and combined them with adobe photoshop's multiply and color dodge to make the violin with phoenix's wings.
Besides, She made darken blue background with lines that look like waves.
Design Challenge: To create a poster without any real picture was a new challenge for 2021's poster design because, in 2020, the designer used the real violin's image to be the main character. This year she had to create the whole picture by herself.
Research: The trance-formations in eastern music performance are natural and flowing music style, floating clouds, and flowing water.
The shape in the background represents the feeling of flying in music and waves of music.

Besides, The center image combines music waves and a violin shape image, and it looks like a phoenix spreading its wings. The orange-colored waves in the center of the poster represent a flying phoenix. The phoenix represents hard work and the enthusiasm of musicians and all the staff.
Inspiration: The designer designed another key visual poster for Taipei Music Academy and Festival in 2020. She used the real violin's image to be Taipei Music Academy and Festival's main visual, so the team decided to use lines to communicate the abstract music feeling this year to separate the difference between 2020's key visual poster and 2021's poster.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2020 in Taipei and finished in December 2020 in Taipei, and it was exhibited in the United States in July 2021 due to Taipei's pandemic.
Operation Flow: When people look at the poster, they see the phoenix and violin combined image first.
When viewers follow the background's blue lines, their eyes will see the date, activity's name, and then sponsors' names on it.
Every image has logic to put in its place.
