Good Posters


The reason why I chose this poster is because I love how it is simple for printing with only 3 pantones which is nice for printing. But it's not just about printing, I like how they create the idea of the boy in the picture mowing over the band name and, even at an angle, is readable and emphasizes the main message in the poster.

The reason why I liked this poster is because if a fan were to look at this poster, I believe that they would be understand it's message. The album itself is very eerie and very dark, especially with some of the issues that they bring up, which is conveyed by the picture. The person looks like they are screaming, with the words being typed in a sort of fine handwriting that looks like they're coming out of the mouth. Also, the colors and the blending of the colors brings this effect to life.



The reason why I find this poster very interesting is not only because of how simple it is or the two pantone used to print out the poster, but how they played with the name of the band. I like how they took a silhouette of a black cat and broke it apart, enlarging the black cat on the bottom and put the tail on the top (possibly making the cat's tail look very long). What makes it really cool is how the cat's eyes aren't part of the picture, which gives it a sort of creepy feeling. I also liked how they used a font that would normally be a part of any bar and gives it that "House of Blue's" or an old-style Chicago feeling.
