When is the best time to do a super quick poster? Friday lunch of course!
It's 11:58am on Friday and I'm cracking out my shiny wrapped sandwiches, with the exotic mix of cheese, ham and salad (pretty adventurous right). I get a buzz on my phone and who would it be if not Mark '90's boy-band haircut' Howlette, with a polite text message asking me if I can have him a poster done by that evening—but I thought I'd do him one better.
The poster in question is the one above, and is for the male man that is Ben Ottewell and the gig he is going to play at The Brickyard in April. I had a look at his website, a listen to his solo music and attempted to browse previous posters for his performances. This didn't help all that much, so I tapped into my memory bank and thought—what do I like, what might suit him and what can I do quickly?
The outcome was some kind of mix between, the red & blue colour palette, the font Futura and the London Underground map as designed by Harry Beck. The poster took me 32 minutes exactly and I really do like it; despite the fact I bet it's got a spelling mistake in there somewhere.
