Research and Analyse

 In CyberARTS today we were given the first step in are final culminating project, which was to research some posters of music gigs or musicals from the 1980 to today and I chose a variety to show negative space, innovative design, clear visual images and underlying messages hidden in the imagery or text.

First the Joseph and the amazing technicolor poster uses negative space because it creates letters using the white on black background with a coulpe of lines of colors to link with part of the title which is the dream coat so you are automaticly  informed that there's a rainbow coat. The design is effective yet simple. 

 The Rock of Ages poster a innovative design because it looks clutered with text and pictures but the setup is set to to make it look organized and show the most important pieces of text or pictures. The poster has a color pallette of dark purples and oranges almost to look as if you are walking into a sunset. The poster clearly shows two characters, one holding a mop the other holding a suitcase, this may show that they rose to fame or great importance togethter.  

The Wicked poster also uses negative space to show two characters; the good witch and the bad witch. The poster focuses on the characters which tellls you what the main plot of the story is about which is what people want ot know first. The contrasting colors also make each silloette stand out and show there

characteristic; good and bad.

The singing in rain poster is a older one but it still has a creative design, like the Dreamcoat poster this poster shows a scene of a man carring a women in the rain with the unbrella, a basic desciption of the title. The poster has contrasting colors; red and yellow and has the most important information who, what, where and when.

The sound of music posster is another oldie but like the previous one it has a innovative design which shows the key points who, what, where and when. The image  is depicting a women running in a feild with a suitcase and a guitar case, this is a scene which does come up in the motion picture movie and bringing the image back remindes people about the movie and invites them to come see the musical live in a theater.

            

Gig poster statement

Class: CyberTech
Band: Falling For Never
Genre: Techno/punk
Medium: Adobe Photoshop

My band is called Falling For Never. My poster shows important infromation, appealing colors and graphics choices and a complex layout. I have included the location, date, time, ticket prices, and who is allowed to come, enough information to direct people to the concert but to not take away from the poster itself. My poster has a unique theme which uses darker shades and colors but gives the effect of the unknown. Although there is still some green and light blue in the earth and rainbow mixture in the black hole but it all ties together and does not take your attention away from the idea of the poster. The title is supposed to be the eye catching part of the poster becuase it's clear and easy to read and it brings the whole theme together.My layout shows a black hole sucking the name of my band inside it with the earth on the other end. I chose to do this because it is appealing to the eye and it's explains the title, for example the falling " for never" means falling but not falling, it dosen't make sense. The "falling" means falling in general and you may link it to space or the unknown.In all the title gives you information about what music the band sings\plays.
