Classical music can seem boring to the modern man, but these Studio Dumbar posters have contemporary flair that brings classical music to the world of today. Made for The Amsterdam Sinfonietta, these award-winning posters utilize typographic styling to make posters that are as much art as they are advertisement.
The designers explain that, "[they] created a distinctly modern identity driven by a bold logotype and typographic palette, the implementation of which remains consistent across all communications." Indeed, the posters vary greatly in their design while still maintaining an over-arching theme.
These Studio Dumbar posters do a much better job of enticing me into a classical music concert than a poster of someone playing a violin ever could.
