Ancillary Research (Poster Design)



For my Ancillary task, i have decided to produce a live poster and album cover as this will benefit my band out side of the class room. Here i have chosen 3 differnt posters from the same genre and time period im trying to recreate. This first is of Led Zeppelin live in Knebworth. This is relativly well known poster and i think this is mainly due to the simple yet effective layout. The contrast of the bands names agains the black background makes them really stand out with the headling act at the top in a different font and colour to make them stand out evan more. The second poster is of the Greatful Dead live at the Warfield Theater. I have chosen to look at this poster because it's an idea i might consider trying to recreate. What i had in mind was the two giant skelleton band members leaning on a famouse venue in bristol. And finaly i have chosen Pink Floyd live in the Oakland Coliseum in 1977. I have chosen this as it is one of my favourite poster. The giant pig is an icon from their Animals album which was released prior to this. I was planning to incorporate an icon into both the album cover and poster.
