Week 5 - Music Festival Poster

Music Festival Poster
2. My music festival will be host a number of current popular mainstream rock bands, as well as some local bands. The audience will be comprised of young adults, and teenagers (over 18) who like listening to rock. The festival will be in an open venue at the Telstra Dome. There will be a stage in the centre of the ground and people will congregate around the stage and in the stands. It will be a loud energetic atmosphere, a lot of moshers etc. It is a whole day event, which will start of with some of the local bands and then the bigger international bands will play into the night. There will be bars and cafes open around in the stands.

6. Appraisal
In my poster design, i have used solid line to outline the silhouette of the guitarist and a much softer, glowing line to outline the guitar. It creates the effect that it is a real person, and the guitar creates the effect that it is a big part of this festival. The line in the text is solid, as it contrasts with the background colour it does not need any decorative line.
Shape is used in the silhouette image. After doing research, I found silhouettes to be very popular and effective. The shape used in the text is all solid caps, with some imperfections to make it look more 'grungy'.
The two colour systems i used were analogous and contrast. The background of the silhouette is analogous, and is designed to look like the glow of coloured light from a stage; hence the gradient and the diminishing colour. The main background is black with white text layed over it so that it stands out, aswell as coincides with the whole layout as these are both neutral colours and therefore does not clash with the blue and purple.
There isnt really texture in this design, however the fade of the colour in the centre implies real light. There is some texture in the text, it looks slightly rough which suits the style of music festival.
