week 1.

(This was an online image that i found when searching for examples of graphic design.)


Its a poster for a band, "former child stars", advertising their latest gig.
Its a simple design, that doesn't use any sort of imagery, but uses the typography as the main focus. The designers used a basic sans serif font, that is uniform through the poster; combined with the overlapping technique used (in the band name) it creates secondary colours.
The colours are loud, playful and fun, and combined with the black background, makes them stand out.
Its a trendy and modern piece, that catches your eye through the colours used, and the inevitable contrast.

The qualities that attracted me to the piece were loud colours, the orderly design and the bold and modern feel of the piece.
