There’s a lot to like about this crisp design promoting a killer bill on Friday night at 2826 Arnetic — a show that promises performances from some of the region’s finest up-and-coming rap talents.
Obviously, like so many other events happening this weekend, this event, called “The Super Hip-Hop Bowl,” is certainly trying to capitalize on the big event taking place in Arlington on Sunday evening. In name, definitely. But also in design. Using classic football imagery — a foam finger, triangular flags and a bold, college-like typeface — this poster certainly conjures an idea of the Big Game.
It also promotes the hip-hop aspects — see the microphone in the foam finger, and the cord running the length of the poster. It does so smartly, too: Note the cord wrapping in an out of the text announcing the performers, which helps tie everything — the text, the idea — of this poster together.
And I like the color scheme.
