Concert Poster Design Rationale

For my poster, I did it on the band Nightwish.


What I liked most about my poster was that my image was large and blended with the background. I used Photoshop to drag my picture in and used the magic eraser to get rid everything except the band. Although there are a few spots that disappeared on the band members, I think the picture turned out good.

  • However, I do not think this poster was the best assignment that I did. I thought the background was boring and did not stand out. Yes, my background is colorful and shows the styles of black and purple, but nothing stood out on the poster. I could not find a wayto make my poster stand out.

What I found difficult was the placement. I decided to use a "Z" style, but at first, everything ended up in the middle. Then I moved some things around, but I was told that some of my placements should stand out more and the important information should be at the top. In the end, I obtained a "Z" style format for my poster starting with the name of the band and ending with ticket information.

  • Overall, this is not the best assignment that I had done. I am upset with the background, the lack of more than two colors, and the sight of more words than pictures, There are many things that I wish I could have done, but I did not have the time to do it and I do not know what else I could have done.
