The Music of the Lord of the Rings Concert Poster

Ottawa Pops Orchestra

Tagline: Redefining the orchestral experience

The Ottawa Pops Orchestra aims to foster the next generation of musicians, redefine the orchestral experience, and create a sense of community by programming fun and relevant orchestral programs. We want to cater to an audience that does not usually cater to the orchestral experience.

We like our designs to be clean, and can appeal to the general public. Not necessarily orchestra concert goers. We produce a number of concerts per season and would like all of our designs to have the same feel for brand consistency. Our current branding includes elements of ''realism''.

Target audience: age 18-55
Keywords: Orchestra, Live Music, Lord of the Rings, Geek, Fantasy

We will start with the main 11''x17'' poster, and we will work with the winner on a 1 to 1 project for additional resizes after the contest closes.

You have free reign for the design so long as you follow the marketing guidelines and poster layout specifications. You can take a look at our past The Music of Star wars concert poster to get a better sense of our brand. We have also included a few other designs that we like and feel could represent our brand effectively.

Be wary of copyrighted imaged and characters. We want to convey the idea of Lord of the Rings, not copy it.

Please follow the Poster and footer layout closely. Only approved fonts will be accepted for text information (this excludes the graphic title text).

We have a number of variations on the design (banners, resizing etc) If we choose your poster design, we will start a 1 to 1 campaign for additional design resizes.

If we really like your design and see potential, we might ask you to design the other campaigns.
