Teabags Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Nowhere does the poster give any information about the bands - maybe deliberate, but still, what makes this worth going to for the average personI think I'm right in assuming that the "average person" can fuck off. Theres not enough spaceWhat's next...the green and yellow colouring of the band names is absolutely dreadful - did no-one teach the designer anything about colours in school?The designer goes to Gray's.

Cloud Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I think I'm right in assuming that the "average person" can fuck off. Theres not enough spaceThen space should be made. Considering you're working with a blank canvas, isn't it a bit absurd to say "there's not enough space" when space could have been planned for?The designer goes to Gray's.My, how standards have slipped.

Panda Strong Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 The designer goes to Gray's.To be fair...that doesn't really mean much!It's a decent poster, but i'm inclined to agree over the fact that there aint any descriptions / info / links to the bands playing or the people putting it on.

Panda Strong Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Yeah, sure, that's all great. I guess if you only want people who know the bands playing and what they sound like turning up, there's no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get into the gig, you have to be one of the cool kids. It's not so much "there's not enough space" as it is "you're not part of our cool group of friends". Which you're not. So fuck off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit pointless, doesn't it?To be honest, I thought the Aberdeen music scene had grown up from the days when the only people that went to gigs were all mates with the bands. Evidently not.

Seems a bit pointless, doesn't it?In case a mate of the band isn't online and sees it up around town. Also, they'll see the bad design and know the code to decipher it.To be honest, I thought the Aberdeen music scene had grown up from the days when the only people that went to gigs were all mates with the bands. Evidently not.Who cares? Nobody that is going to have fun at this gig I imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if you only want people who know the bands playing and what they sound like turning up, there's no problem.People who are really into this scene of music are going to know who maths, archives etc are to some extent and I don't see how putting myspace links on a poster will help promotion, its fairly common knowledge that all bands these days use myspace, popular or not, so whats stopping people finding the addresses themselves.I think its a fucking brilliant poster as do a few others. So everyone else please stop polluting my thread please, I'm trying to advertise a gig, not discuss "how shit you think the poster is".Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHN BEVERLY Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 posterSorry mate, but that poster is absolutely shocking. It's badly designed, cluttery and just doesn't do justice at all. The skeleton is fine - but the text...? It's dreadful.get a hud of yersel , where are your eyes , up yer arse .horns are us . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 If its done the job of deterring you going to gig, its a fucking brilliant poster.Count me in btwAhaha! Yussss.I really like the poster. Toms really is tiny, so it doesn't need a poster trying to convince the masses to show up by rating the band's mums out of 10 in times new roman font. Imagine an alternative music gig poster not conforming to the dulux colour chart though. Disgusting.Methinks I'll probably be in attendance.

stuartmaxwell Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 im looking forward to playing and hanging out with pals at a light hearted rehearsal room gig with lots of bands who I really dig. im sure those that want to be there will be there and those that dont want to wont, regardless of a poster.I doubt there will be any dissapointed people standing outside toms unable to get in.

If you're putting up posters, evidently word of mouth isn't Because the whole point of a poster is to make it as clear and simple as possible. Would a small description or myspace link actually hurt? Nope...What about the people who might be into the stuff, or who might be interested in checking it out (people like me for instance, who think Archives have decent music but poor vocals) - why alienate them for the sake of poor design?You could, of course, just admit that this is a gig for a group of people that kiss arse.I think its a fucking brilliant poster as do a few others. So everyone else please stop polluting my thread please, I'm trying to advertise a gig, not discuss "how shit you think the poster is".Didn't you actually *start* the discussion on the poster by commenting on it? And I'm still waiting to hear a positive comment from someone who isn't actually arse licking.I really like the poster. Toms really is tiny' date=' so it doesn't need a poster trying to convince the masses to show up by rating the band's mums out of 10 in times new roman font.

I've seen incredible designs that used very strange fonts...but they were designed by someone that actually had half a clue about design.As for the colour chart - face it, it's absolutely dreadful. It screams "I don't know what I'm doing" - and I think any real designer would be ashamed to produce such a terrible piece of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Subtle Arts Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Wait, so the guy is waisting bandwidth when he doesn't even live in the same city and commenting on something as trivial as the gig poster to a gig he won't end up going to?Man Essex must be well boring. I have lots of friends in Essex, especially ones that can show you a good time if it comes to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
