Each year, country music trailblazer Rissi Palmer selects a new "Class" of emerging artists—highlighting the Black, Indigenous, and Latinx voices that are redefining the genre. My ongoing collaboration with CMC involves translating this auditory revolution into a visual identity.
Working directly with Rissi, I design the annual promotional posters that announce the new cohort to the world. The goal is to create a visual "shout out" that feels rooted in Americana tradition but fresh enough to represent the future. I balance the Color Me Country branding with the unique personalities of that year's artists, ensuring each musician is represented as a pillar of the new country landscape.
