SFJAZZ Gala Design Study
The 2026 SFJAZZ Gala celebrated the 100th birthdays of Miles Davis and John Coltrane, along with a special recognition of George Benson.
One of our early design directions used music notation staffs to generate a custom logotype and graphic device for the event. This animation explores bringing that concept to life through movement that dances with the music in a mid-century style cadence. The client ultimately chose a different direction, but I'm proud of how this exploration turned out.
