I stumbled across this article through Awesome Merch and it perfectly sums up everything I want from this year I guess, or at least a big 75% of it. I want to be good at poster design, focusing mainly on music.
Adam Pobiak is really interesting as he draws upon the psychedelic style I'm currently looking at for Studio Brief 1 and 2 for this module. He says he took inspiration from The Fillmore posters of the sixties, something I have being unknowingly drawing upon without knowing the name of, which is pretty cool.
I find it interesting he prints his own, and it raises the question whether my resolutions would have to be screenprinted, a process I find beautiful but incredibly hard to get my head around.
I think the colours are too dark for me but the overall compositions and hidden details are something I want to recreate within my own work.
Can you please share three bits of advice for any aspiring gig poster artists or artists in general?
Don’t get into it for the money, but if you love doing it don’t stop doing it. If you really love doing it, and do it for long enough you will likely end up much better at it and getting some attention for it.... or at least being able to take “business” trips to Flatstock to get drunk with your friends who were also ill-advised enough to get themselves stuck in same profession.
