    This poster has got to be kidding me.
  • dh89, on 01/23/2008, -2/+6He missed the Arcade Fire posters - http://www.postersandtoys.net/catalog/brlsq4.jpg
  • ElbertF, on 01/23/2008, -7/+11meh
  • UPGR4Y3DD, on 01/23/2008, -1/+5These weren't very special. There were a couple of good ones, but nothing really inspired me. Meh.
  • ElbertF, on 01/23/2008, -0/+3meh
  • AlgnPelotudo, on 01/23/2008, -2/+5meth?
  • fictionalOne, on 01/23/2008, -0/+3Nice! I really like the Digable Planets poster.
  • neodorian, on 01/23/2008, -0/+3Greyhound up to Baltimore sometime and catch him at a Wham City show. Damn fun times.
  • Kratos76, on 01/23/2008, -3/+6lame
  • haydesigner, on 01/23/2008, -0/+2Don't sweat the children. Those of us who actual have grey matter appreciate the efforts of those who post mirrors.
  • monospaced, on 01/23/2008, -3/+5Cool bro, but WAY too much cliché Photoshop work going on. Trying simplifying.
  • thedarkrabbit, on 01/23/2008, -6/+8and 1 sensational server crash!
  • SenorCardgage74, on 01/23/2008, -0/+2Thanks man! Ghetto-modified Avant Garde.
  • SenorCardgage74, on 01/23/2008, -0/+2Also only like 3 or 4 of the almost 70 posters I have up there even use Helvetica.
  • cannonball, on 01/23/2008, -1/+3i need like a hundred of those posters to be impressed...
  • Goldennova, on 01/23/2008, -2/+4Not really good. The posters I mean. Some of those bands are pretty good but overall, those poster designs are too... high-school-teenage-girl-ish. They have terrible design.
  • LogicBomB, on 01/23/2008, -6/+8meh
  • alstewart73, on 01/23/2008, -2/+4avg
  • acdcfanbill, on 01/23/2008, -0/+1I was thinking 'Fear Factory and Strapping Young Lad, I'd rather see the show than the poster' :)
  • aidtheroger, on 02/12/2008, -0/+1Derek Hess is the fricken man!!
  • neodorian, on 01/23/2008, -2/+3Hell yeah, Dan Deacon, Video Hippos, OCDJ... Looks like someone has some Wham City love.
  • haydesigner, on 01/23/2008, -1/+2Are these done for the bands, or are they personal pieces?

    For the most part I like them. Two main suggestions: 1) You have a consistent washed-out look and feel going on, but try using using some solid colors, at least once in awhile to challenge yourself, and 2) try to remember that you generally want a single primary focal point to a piece, and 2-3 secondary focal points. Don't try to make everything scream for attention.

    Otherwise, nice work (and this is coming from 15-year pro designer and part-time educator)!
  • Goldennova, on 01/23/2008, -0/+1I am just saying that these posters don't appeal to me. They might not be "terrible", but I think that the are too random and have too much clutter. I also don't like the colors, but everybody has different opinions. I did not mean to come off sounding like a harsh pompous ass.
  • Goldennova, on 01/23/2008, -0/+1They are called opinions. You like these posters, I prefer posters with less clutter. These aren't terrible, but just not in my taste. I prefer more straightforward posters. THe band members, a logo and a background is all I need. What's the deal with the astronaut thing? I just don't get it. The people saying meh are just apathetic or w/e. At least they aren't saying " ZOMFG THESE ARE TERRIBLE!!!!"
  • piesforyou, on 01/23/2008, -4/+5why has he cropped the thumbnails. What a stupid idea.
  • sogangsta, on 01/23/2008, -0/+1Nice work, little heavy handed on the Helvetica though. Also, what typeface did you use in the "She Wants Revenge" poster? Cheers, Kyle B www.sogangsta.com
  • kickelephant, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1Stop being a horse pussy and back up your opinion. These do not suck. Look at the concept. The hand rendered typography is also choice.
    Anybody heard of Jay Ryan?

  • inactive, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1"who the hell types "meh?" nerds with small dicks"
    You just typed "meh" too . . . how's it hanging hamster tackle!
  • crystalmath, on 01/23/2008, -0/+1hey post some more broken links.
  • LittleMichael, on 01/23/2008, -4/+5"sensational" is not the word I would of used for these posters.
  • monospaced, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1Can never use too much Helvetica.
  • spoogieking012, on 01/24/2008, -1/+2C-C-C COMBO BREAKER
  • bat-21, on 01/23/2008, -0/+1You did that Shonen Knife poster? ( http://www.gigposters.com/poster/44101_Shonen_Knif ... ) I love that one. I'd get it except I'd be too tempted to cut it up.
  • SenorCardgage74, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1Thanks for the crit!
    They are all legitimate pieces. Gigposters wont allow personal or portfolio style pieces.
    Some are done directly with bands, thru mangagement, etc, while most are done for the concert promoter.
  • davosjh, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1eh. sensational? eh.
  • Groggie, on 01/23/2008, -4/+4These aren't that great. A few good ones, but nothing spectacular.
  • llamaguy132, on 01/23/2008, -1/+1AKA: "meh"
  • ElbertF, on 01/23/2008, -2/+2meh
