2009 Joyride

Yes, I do have mad poster-whipping-out and fall festival branding skillz.

I pulled this together for our friend Brent's bash coming up in Oct 16. (we're doing a postercard, too.) His band is opening for Act of Congress and there will be hayrides, bonfire, camping out, etc at a farm out in Jasper. It'll be a fun time!

Nate Duval gig poster

Check out this beautiful 5-color (one is gold!) screen-printed poster I ordered! Thanks to LeeAnne for introducing me to the work of Nate Duval.

Where should I hang it? I was thinking in my studio.

Poster Cabaret, cont'd

Here are a few goodies from Poster Cabaret.

Poster Cabaret

I found this cool site, Poster Cabaret. They have tons of cool gig posters.

This is what they say about themselves:
Poster Cabaret focuses on only the best modern gig posters. The web gallery is organized by artist. You can also search the site for a band by using the "band search" function. The website features poster art from the best artists making modern concert posters.

Works Made In Valencia

I LOVE this self-promo poster: Works Made in Valencia by designer Jae-Hyouk Sung, to promote her first solo exhibition. This was featured in ID mag's annual design review 2008, and it's won several other awards as well. Look at the complexity and intricacy of the detail. From top to bottom: front, detail of front, back, detail of back.

more of the artist's work can be seen here, first place in the Print Media category in the 2003 Adobe Design Achievement Awards.

and here are a few of the winners from ID annual design review.
