stinkbait : |
tell me what you know about The Hold Steady. You to Richie.
There are reasons this poster looks like it does.
We just did three posters for them. They are designery. Each one speaks to a different part of their music. You won't like them but fans flipped out when they saw them. |

Salcanzonieri : |
No one is saying anything about there being ONE style for all posters, far from it. I didn't see anyone say that, even Richie.
What people are talking about is the thought process behind making a poster, regardless of the style of the poster. (which is different than an artist haveing 'style').
The difference between being truly creative and being lazy and doing something that is just nice. |

hey billy perkins - your posters are all great, obviously you know how to make a poster compelling AND have a style that attracts fans of your art, so you understand the process. It is a process.
(nothing against AA, just answering Billy from a pervious comment here)
By the way, saying this poster is nice or not has nothing to do with what Richie is asking. |

Not to detract from your point, but you misspelled stow.

stinkbait : |
Stowe it goodtimes. Your definition of what a "rock" poster should be doesn't apply to every single poster made. Everyone gets that you don't like designer style. You are boring the jesus out of everyone on this topic and not even making a good argument for your own views. Come up with a more compelling pot to stir dipshit.

lil_tuffy : |
My ex-gf used to get upset if I'd be selling posters and someone (usually not realzing that I'm the artist) would say that they thought it was stupid or gay or bad design or whatever. She'd be like "doesn't that piss you off?" and I'd go, "no. I only need 100 people to like this poster and then it's gone forever."

it's good, nothing great. it's simple and gets the point across, though the text is kinda small. it's good to have these "designy" type posters to offset the ones of craptastic sketches of strange creatures puking out of their eyeballs and shit. not everything needs to be totally over the top. different strokes for different folks. |

It's not going to help any as we have another poster in that batch that is all designer-y and static and boring and the type is small. We designed it and printed it last night to piss off Richie. |

Yeah, Dave, I hade posters done for shows after they happened.
SO that is merch, which is also doing a job, attracting buyers.
or just to commemorate an event, if it is not used as merch.
Either way, a poster made after a show still has to be appealing to me and our fans, or it has no need to exist. |

Great use of neg space.

Creative integration of necessary typography.
Solid composition utilizing an angled rectangular shape motif.
Interesting combination of line art vs photography.
Well-rendered texture.
Unconventional registration in select areas.

Salcanzonieri : |
That's the difference between an artist and a hack:
doing a job and doing it with style.
What does an architect do?
A portrait painter?
etc.
An art print you can do whatever you like, but a gig poster gives you some parameters to work in.

Salcanzonieri : |
IF someone has an aftermarket sales thing that is successful it is for two reasons:
1 - the artist has a style that is appealing out of context of the show event.
2 - the artist understands marketing and sales, and is good at business.
How to do #1 there and also do the job a gig poster is supposed to do
IS what brains and talent are for.
You find your way in that space. |

perkins : |
Speaking for myself, I try to design posters to be art, not just advertisements for a show. Right or wrong, my poster's job is to:
1) Promote the show
2) Get me some exposure
If #2 was not a part of it, I'd be working for free & I doubt I'd be as enthusiastic about doing it. |
