Carlisle are you ready!
Over the past week or so I'm been working on the poster for the up-and-coming Ska night, which is the invention of The Brickyard's new kid Nick. He asked me if I could come up with a poster, and instantly my head clicked – every single Ska poster I have ever seen was this horrible scanned, monotone poster laden with checker-board.
I started with a few ideas of making it really rough, and making look like it had been through the wrong end of a photocopier a few too many times.
I sent a few tests through, and we both realised that it may of been a bit too rough to actually get the message across correctly. So from there I moved on to the idea of mixing up the fonts with imagery and all the while keeping the harsh monochrome.
I tried and tried and I just couldn't make the monochrome stand out, it just looked plain and nothing different from what already existed – but also it wasn't quite traditional enough to reinforce the idea of the old posters of yonder.
Get yourselves there, It'll pretty bloody good!
