Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
While the design of this poster is pretty straightforward -- the album is coming out on vinyl, so the an illustration of that vinyl disc appears on this poster -- it does its job quite well, given the epic, fantastical and psychedelic nature of the band's catalog. The real beauty here, though, is in the simplicity: This poster's just a four-color design, and it's not overloaded with images or details -- just the band names, the dates, the album title, the vinyl illustration and, sure, a skeleton arm to hammer the whole mystic idea home. And it works -- that or I've just been hankering to watch a Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
More important, though, is the fact that this show should be quite the incredible one, featuring three of the Fort's finest on one stage for one night.
Think your poster is better? Want to see one of your designs get honored next week? Then go ahead and drop us an email with an image promoting an upcoming show right here. Oh, and be sure to do so at least a week in advance. Thanks!
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
