DYAO 2019-2020 Season

The Denver Young Artists Orchestra’s mission is to inspire and educate young musicians through the performance of great works of music, and to offer valuable cultural opportunities to our community.

Each year, we are tasked with developing the season’s visual theme. This is fun AND challenging because they strive for clean, modern design while incorporating photography of the stars… the KIDS! We must consider stockholders and the board.

This year, they worked with a professional photographer. We combined these fun, energetic images with color screens for a fun, vibrant monochrome effect. For each event, we would switch out the photo and the color, keeping the basic effect the same. We kept it “simple,” with bold type and line rules jetting on and off the design for a bit of structure.

The organization’s main fundraiser is an annual gala. This year we decided to “class it up” with a simulated gold foil texture inside a text mask, to keep it under budget. Even though due to circumstances the event turned into a virtual gala, the design was still widely received.
