    The Headliner's Name

    Posted on Aug 24, 2009 at 9:50 AM

    First and foremost, fantastic typography! Only thing that's a little confusing is the headliner's name... is it Bundy or Undy?

      Hey, that's a good idea. Next time I've got nothing better to do, I think I'll experiment with that. Thanks!

    Maybe a little more vivid colors.

    Posted on Aug 28, 2009 at 3:53 AM

    However this works, but I can imagine putting this up in a schoolhall it may not catch to much attention.

    From design perspective it looks finished with very good attention for detail. I like how you used the guitar to create a B for Bundy, Didn't notice it at first, but when you see it, it's really cool.

    • Stephanie Collins
      Posted: on Aug 28, 2009 at 11:39 PM

      Yes, I think you might be right--some brighter colors may really make it pop. Thanks!

    space between the 7 and P

    Posted on Aug 29, 2009 at 5:08 PM

    I think this piece is on the verge of perfect!

    I would personally only tweak up 4 things on the poster.

    Maybe change the "with" so it is not italic, maybe make the background of the guitar and Bundy the same as the pattern that you have set in back or visa versa.

    I would line up that red line above Central Washington University and the stuff between that and the bar under Bundy to a left alignment point.

    Lastly, I would pull that seven a bit more away from the P in PM. and line up the top of the 7PM to the top of the FREE.

    Cool looking tickets and overall great concept!

      Thanks for your nitpickiness! (Is that a word?) I can see that you've got a good eye for typography, because I agree with your suggestions. Thank you!

    Possibly something more obviously "music"

    Posted on Aug 31, 2009 at 9:55 PM

    Only thing i didnt quite get at first glance, possibly because the guitar isnt 100% obvious, is that the poster is for a music event, maybe some silhouettes on the damask of a crowd emerging from under the white or something else to suggest music/concert. Loving the textures, great overall design, awesome colours.

    Only other thing is the B, thought it was Undy until i read the comments :P

    • Stephanie Collins
      Posted: on Aug 31, 2009 at 10:02 PM

      Hm, that's an interesting idea. And yes, you're not the only one who didn't see "Bundy" at first. Thanks for the comment!

      Really love the design! Took me a moment to realize the B in the guitar design, but clever.

      I like the design, but notice that the address isn't anywhere on the poster (unless it is in the fine print). I am guessing the location is one that the audience is familiar with. The design drew my attention, but it did take a second glance for me to realize that the guitar and the B were one in the same.

    More tie-in with the background

    Posted on Jul 24, 2009 at 6:44 PM

    As usual, your work with type is strong and noticeable. I do think this work stands nicely as is.

    However, if you were to re-visit the poster I would look for more ways to tie in with the background wallpaper. The slight occlusion from the guitar is all we have right now.

    The tickets, pulled the wallpaper in rather well by including some type over it and by "finishing" the half guitar with the left border. Everything feels necessary for balance.

    BTW, I like the orthogonal type placement on the tickets too. It's nice to remember possibilities of a format that fits nicely in your hands.

    • Stephanie Collins
      Posted: on Jul 24, 2009 at 11:21 PM

      I see what you're saying; the ticket was an afterthought, and wasn't actually necessary for the event, but it seems to be more popular than the poster. Maybe I should incorporate the negative type onto the background. Thanks!

    I can see you put a drop shadow around the poster but it would be interesting to see a light source coming from a certain angle. Other than that I LOVE this. I love how grungy and worn out it feels. Excellent job.

    • Stephanie Collins
      Posted: on Jul 25, 2009 at 12:56 PM

      Yes, I think you're right. Before I put it in my portfolio, I need to do more photoshopping to make it look like a real sheet of paper that's on an actual wall of some kind; and a light source would certainly help. Thanks for that input.

    Only thing...

    Posted on Jul 25, 2009 at 5:40 PM

    The ONLY thing that needs work is how bright and dominant the foreground is compared to the background.

    Perhaps combat this by making the top and bottom edges of the white foreground grungy and decaying, this would keep the theme but allow you to have a clean white colour for the typo so that it still stands out.

    • Stephanie Collins
      Posted: on Jul 27, 2009 at 10:53 PM

      You're talking about the quarter-inch margin around the whole poster, right? I think what you're saying is that the white is too clean and bright for the grunginess of the rest of the poster...?

    • Oliver Martin
      Oliver Martin commented:
      Posted: on Jul 28, 2009 at 5:53 AM

      Nope. The bit I'm referring to is not the white border, thats cool, but the white background that all the typography is on top of (i.e. event date and time etc).

      You should grunge the top and bottom edges of this area to tie it into the rest of the background so that it isn't so dominent.

      Hope you understand.

    Simple, clean & direct to the point.

    Posted on Aug 05, 2009 at 1:09 PM

    Nice design of poster. A 2-color job can be difficult to pull off the design. I believe that this is siimple, yet effect 2-color design.

    Amazing Design

    Posted on Aug 06, 2009 at 1:54 AM

    Is this your original idea to use the guitar body as the the letter B? This design looks beautiful. I want to see Trace Bundy perform now even though I know nothing about her music or if she is any good.

    • Stephanie Collins
      Posted: on Aug 08, 2009 at 12:02 PM

      Wow, thank you! Yes, that was my idea, and I thought it was quite clever at the time--although I wonder how many people actually notice it. :)

    Great Poster

    Posted on Aug 12, 2009 at 5:27 AM

    I've actually used that damask texture you're using for a poster :) I'll have to post that concept later today. I love the aged look and the textures you've used. The typography is great. REally nothing negative :)

      The little touches you have added to the overal design is what makes it. (small icons outside the location and the distressed corner). I would have to agree with the top and bottom margins comment by Myers. It might look more active if the top margin was larger than the bottom or visa versa. Very nice work!

    I honestly wouldn't change much of anything. It really captured my attention, and I was able to quickly scan all the necessary information. I LOVE the way the tickets turned out too, even more than the poster!

    The only thing I could say is; the top and bottom margins are a bit thick. I would try making the content a little larger to help fill the page more. It just seems a little awkward. That is really the only thing I could point out that I didn't like.

    Great job, and keep up the great work! I loved your identity package that you posted as well. If I get time, I'll review that for you too. ;-)

      Wow, thank you!

      And yeah, I guess those top and bottom margins aren't really doing anything. Maybe I'll get around to changing that someday. :)
