Posters


Coach

Coach was a huge learning experience for me. From booking shows to organizing the finer details behind the scene, I Learned so much during our one year run. Most importantly I discovered a love for designing our show posters. Design work was never our top priority but I had become obsessed with photography at the time and had nothing to do with my photos. I found that by applying our show information to my photos I could create a design for posters that would be well received by venues. I thought it important to remain consistent with our posters so I kept using my photography. Since then I have learned a thing or two when it comes to design consistency.

 

Doggo - 3D

 
 

Doggo is a wonderful three piece from Seattle, Wa. Their music is well thought out and full of energy and they have the stage presence to match. I went with 3 D's for this design because they are a three piece band and the colors were inspired by the color scheme of the Nintendo 64. After coming up with the Doggo 3D design I mocked up a pocket T design to match. 

 

Flesh Produce

 

Option 1

 

option 2

These are both concept designs for a future show that I would love to see happen. I have had the pleasure of playing shows with Flesh Produce and The City Hall and the honor of performing with members of Flesh Produce and Doggo. I had stumbled upon the font while working on another project and thought it would be perfect for a show poster for these bands. It's personable like The City Hall, and unpredictable yet fascinating like Doggo and Flesh Produce. I took both of the photos in San Diego while visiting family. While taking the photo for option one I didn't see the face until my sister pointed it out while I was editing the photo. I really liked the pattern in option two. If this show ever happens option one will end up being printed because of readability.

Light Option

Dark Option

IThe light option was the first to be completed and I really like the way both rectangles sat on the light background. The dark option was the second to come and helped improve the readability of the show dates. I knew I was going to use the dark option but I wanted to do a quick A-B test with the those who were around at the time. My partner said the light option was "more designer-y". I'm still not sure what she meant by that but I took it as a complement. My roommates had both said they like the white text on the light background but it was hard to read. Because of readability the dark option was crowned the winner.
