Assignment 14: Research and Inspiration

Research
-according to wikipedia, a poster is a print designed to be hung on a vertical surface
-they are used most often by advertisers, also used for propaganda and protests
-used to communicate a message of getting people to do something (persuade)
-Max Gallo said, "for over two hundred years, posters have been displayed in public places all over the world. Visually striking, they have been designed to attract the attention of passers-by, making us aware of a political viewpoint, enticing us to attend specific events, or encouraging us to purchase a particular product or service."

Inspiration
This concert poster uses just about every technique we've been talking about.  It puts the human eye right at the optical center, and the arm guides the eye through the z pattern.  The band name, while on the bottom of the Z, is still emphasized because of its interesting font and larger size. 

 
I like the use of pattern as the background on this poster. I might use that in my design
