Project 3: "Another World" Concert ft. Yoko Shimomura

    I notice that I don't really put down my ideas much, and its a blog so I suppose it should be a thing yea? I decided to go for Yoko Shimomura for my musician. As a gamer and a future game artist, Yoko is one of the world's best (if not THE best) female composer. She works in the Japanese industry but have done scores across the world, in some installments that you wouldn't believe. She grew up in a time where "video game" music is not considered real music, but now that gaming has become a world's top entertainment industry, her music has become legit. Her focus is on classical and soothing melodies, one of my favorite styles in the world. Recently, thanks to her position for the upcoming gaming titan Final Fantasy XV, her focus has been shifted towards epic latin pieces.

    My focus for this upcoming poster is to depict her concert as an epic battle, but in a very classical and elegant style. No gore, no deaths, but a very beautiful composition of color and instrumental weapons. Tag lines that makes the audience wants to join her in her "fictional" and "rhetorical" battle.

     She is now most famous for the central composer for Kingdom Heart's, one of the world's largest gaming titles and voted as one of the gaming series of the current generation.


Some pieces I have chosen are works of her early, mid, and now current career

  Title of Legend of Mana - Early 90s

Dearly Beloved - Early 2000s (her most famous piece)

Vector to the Heavens - Late 2000s (becoming one of her staples)

Fate of the Unknown - Mid 2000s (transition towards latin classical)

Somnus  - Early 2010s (first latin piece)

Omnis Lacrima - Mid 2010s (latest piece for her latest project)
