Inspiration for the Gad Elbaz Poster

This poster was created for a Gad Elbaz concert in NYC taking place on Chanukah. You can see the poster in all it's glory on Behance.

Thought I'd share the inspiration and notes that I jotted down for this poster.

It's interesting to see that most of the ideas weren't actually used, but somehow the spark of creativity was ignited.
