Rams Head The Blog

In the Spring 2009 semester Krista Chester, graphic designer at Rams Head Live contacted Bernard J Canniffe, Graphic Design Co-Chair at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) to have students develop promotional posters for a music event. Krista identified Thievery Corporation as the band to promote and the MICA Sophomore students spent five weeks producing promotional posters, Tee Shirts, Mugs and Hats.

Take a look. Find us on facebook by searching ‘Rams Head Live’. Take a peek at the students’ posters, and leave a comment about your favorite one.

Thanks to everyone who participated – we look forward  to working with Baltimore’s young and talented again in the future.

We are very excited to be working with Bernard Canniffe, Graphic Design Professor and Co-Chair at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). Together, we have presented two of his Sophmore level design classes with an opportunity to design posters (and perhaps additional marketing collateral) for our February 27th Thievery Corporation show at Rams Head LIVE! We’re looking forward to working with Bern and his students on what should be not only a fun learning project but one that will also provide each student with a professional piece for their portfolio and the experience of working on a professional level with a local Baltimore business.

The final pieces will be displayed in a “virtual show” format on our 25 flatscreen monitors. Students will then be invited to present their work and ideas to the group in a tradtional critique format within our VIP viewing areas prior to the show.

Due to the joyful chaos of local Presidential Inauguration festivities at our Rams Head Tavern in Annapolis, we were unable to personally present this project to the class. However we have provided this video as a “Virtual Presentation”…. keeping with the theme of the project in a way.

Bern & Students: Get your pens and pencils ready and push play when your ready to be WOWed by the artistically inclined, overly animated, tap-dancing triple-threat known to those who lover her simply as “CHESTER.”
