In Publication Design class, we were given the assignment to create a concert poster. It was a difficult and fun assignment. I really enjoyed this project because I hope to go into the music industry after college and possibly create posters like this.
The process began with me picking the top ten bands/grous I would like to create a poster for.
My list (no particular order)
1. The Cramps
2. Parkway Drive
3. A Day to Remember
4. Old Crow Medicine Show
5. Zombie Ghost Train
6. Nekromantix
7. Nicki Minaj
8. August Burns Red
9. The B-52's
10. Chelsea Grin
I did some research online and found some posters I liked that other people have designed. I like this poster a lot because of the intensity of the image and use of only three colors. I also like how the designer (unknown) used a computer program to produce this piece.
I finally decided on Zombie Ghost Train and I started sketching figures, not realizing I would use them in the final poster. I drew three characters that represent the three band members: upright bassist, drummer, and guitarist. I scanned in my drawings, edited them in Photoshop, and arranged them in InDesign. I am happy with the final outcome and hope to send it to the band through a friend who knows the lead singer. I created the font myself and I like the 3-D creepy look it has.
