CLASSICS VICTORY'S LIVE EVENT POSTER POSTER DESIGN
PROJECT OVERVIEW I was asked by the local punk band The Scratches to design an event poster for their show featuring three other bands at a live music venue called Classics Victory’s. They really loved the album for the band Morning Theft and asked me to continue with the burlesque woman with tentacle theme. I used Adobe Illustrator to illustrate the character, and then used Adobe Photoshop to create the environment and typographic elements. METHODOLOGY When I was asked to design the event poster for this live music performance, I wanted to create a visual that was both mysterious and provocative. In some independent sketching, I had been exploring some various on my theme of the burlesque woman with tentacles that had been so successful on the Jolie Laide album cover. I came up with the concept of this burlesque women enjoying a bath by candle-light in front of a large window inside a Victorian-style room with the copper ceiling and dark floral patterned wall. I rendered the illustration in Adobe Illustrator, and then created the background elements and candle light, along with the text in Adobe Photoshop. I used Kinescope for the Header text, Gill Sans MT Ext Condensed Bold for the date and band names, and Gill Sans MT Condensed for the address. The darkened room also called for an interesting color palette of dark reds and grey with the majority of color taking place directly in the center with the character. typography
