One challenge—one I had, in a way, created myself through the chosen concept—was integrating the entire band into a coherent composition without overcrowding the overall image. The airy yellow supports the negative space, while the dancing lettering adds a sense of lightness. Another challenge was translating the band’s sound and atmosphere into a visual language without falling into clichés. With blues and jazz, familiar motifs such as a guitar as a central element quickly suggest themselves. I wanted to step away from these conventions while still integrating recognisable elements such as musical staff lines. Finally, working with a six-piece band also meant it was not easy to meet all expectations and preferences. In the project “Zontania zum Zweiten,” I explore this topic further.
