Gig poster – Basic Elements

Gig poster – Basic Elements – 2up
Gig poster. Original doodle version (left), type version (right)

I did a set of gig posters, each based on a phone doodle. Then I did a version of each without the doodle with more emphasis on the type. Both versions shown above.

How did I get to version 2?

  • Used a similar compressed (narrow) font.
  • Kept the idea of using several bright colours from the image.

The triangles on the image have become letters. But that’s about it. I wasn’t getting a lot from the first poster, which is perhaps why the second is uninspiring.1 I didn’t even keep the light background: the dark worked better. Nothing else to add.

  1. I could see it animated as a title sequence for an Almodovar film.
