In 2015, MMS Conference was in New Orleans (NOLA), the birth place of jazz, and this event needed to be "jazzed up" to celebrate the success of the best 175 MMS. In the conceptual phase of this project, I explored many possible directions, but one guideline I set for myself was not to use jazz concept or jazz related illustrations, as it is the most overdone direction for New Orleans. Instead I found my inspiration in the beautiful architecture of New Orleans.
