Music Event Posters
A collection of event posters produced for music promoters in Sydney and Manchester — each one trying to do something a little unexpected.
Vitamin C
The brief for this project was to produce something retro looking, but also slightly odd. The music promoter I was working with wanted people to do a double-take when seeing the poster. I took a picture of a drummer from the 60s and removed his head. I'm not sure where the idea came from, but it was irresistible. I applied an illustrated style with a suitable palette and paired it with some wear & tear and texture effects to bring it all together. One of my favourites.
Cuckoo
For this project, I worked with a music event promoter in Manchester, UK. They wanted to incorporate patterns into the design with monthly variations. I wanted to allude to the name and settled on a skeletal bird with its typical outline made of a pattern which could be swapped out each time they needed a new poster. Nobody noticed it was the skeleton of a budgie with a nose-job.
