OverviewThe Saratoga Jazz Festival is one of the longest-running jazz festivals in the United States, held annually at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in New York. Celebrating the rich and diverse sounds of jazz, the festival brings together iconic legends and emerging talent for a weekend of unforgettable performances.

As part of a collaboration between the Skidmore College Communication Design Department and the Saratoga Jazz Festival event team, the Communication Design III class had the opportunity to pitch their own creative work for that summer’s festival. My design was chosen, and I worked over the course of the next few weeks to develop a visual identity for the Summer 2021 festival.
