City Stages is an annual music festival held in Birmingham, Alabama. Though originally conceived as a jazz-focused event, City Stages has evolved over the years to encompass a variety of musical styles appealing to a wide audience. The goal of the City Stages website redesign was to communicate the diversity of music and audience that defines the event today, but also evoke the festival’s historical roots in jazz. I was inspired by classic jazz record album design like that found on Blue Note record covers. Functionally, the site enabled its visitors to search and access schedules, artist information, download maps, and purchase tickets.
I designed this site as an art director at ZCom (now defunct).
