Solento Surf Festival Poster Art

Art Direction, Design

A good rule of thumb is to never work with your spouse, but when a great client and great project comes along, you make an exception. Had the pleasure of collaborating with George to create the poster art for the Solento Surf Festival, an annual event in Encinitas, CA, that's all about film, music, community and surfing. The final art needed to work in different configurations and in different media so it could be plastered around the event grounds, both indoor and outdoors.
