John Foster Director, Creative Licensing, began an intertwined love of music and design as a brash teen studying his 4AD record sleeves sprawled out on his bedroom floor. It was his talent as a designer that quickly led him to acclaim. Authoring several essential books on design, and speaking at events all around the world, he rose to VP, Creative for one of the top agencies in the U.S. Here, he learned the ins and outs of music licensing at every scale from the creative side. As he eventually shifted to the label side, that understanding would pay massive dividends as he helped pair the perfect artist and content, while expertly navigating budgets and deadlines. He remains at the ready to talk about any projects that you might have, or in depth about the global shift in poster design in the late 90s.
