geometry

you could argue that brightly coloured geometric forms are a fairly obvious and perhaps too-trendy route to choose for depicting music, but this poster for ‘amsterdam sinfonietta’ drew my attention and that is after all, the primary function of a poster… my only gripe is the disappointing type (i couldn’t find a credit for the design)
