I was honored to be able to design the commemorative poster for the Memphis Music Hall of Fame, as well as invitations to the announcement event and induction ceremony. I researched the 25 members of the first class of inductees and created type treatments based on the artist's respective history, time period, and album art.

A screenshot of some of the early visual research that went into designing type treatments for each of the 25 inductees.
This original design for the invitation was scrapped due to unforeseen budgeting conflicts.
