Vis Lang: further process on rhetoric poster

So i have had some time to think farther about the rhetoric tropes and how to apply them to my jazz artist Mark Oconnor. From all this research and sketches these are my most successful ideas. I am thinking simplicity is the way to go

L: is a city skyline made out of lightning bugs to represent the south, where Oconnors sound comes from. Also the city sky line is used to represent the big city where jazz flourishes and where the performance is.

R: These are 3 crickets used to represent the 3 band members and they are preforming on a stage. Marks music is very fast and jumpy like a cricket and is from down south .

This idea is a corn patch growing in between 2 buildings in the city. Come up town to go down south type thing.

This is a strong personification of a jazz man with a mustache made out of violin scrolls.

L: this poster would fall under a simile cause i am comparing 2 things that are similar in shape such as the violin and the couture of the flamenco girls body.

R: This would be a fiddle tree. The tree is a pecan tree which is indicative of the south and the fiddles cause its what mark plays.

this is taking the idea of a cricket being a symbol for mark oconnor and placing it onto of the instrument he is known for playing.

This is a pun of their name The HOT swing trio i made the band members into peppers.

This last one is replacing the violin strings with a words from a quote about the band in the New York times.
