Because the season's about more than the birth of your lord and savior...
This design, from semi-regular Parade of Flesh designer James Heimer,
might not be the most complicated or far-fetched design we've ever
featured, but, hey, it still works, thanks to its smart embrace of
seasonal symbology.
Yes, all the standard symbols are present -- the nature represented
within the poster's title typography, the tree itself, the ornamental
decorations, and even in the subtitle type, which comes across looking
like seasonal string beads. But, fittingly, it still embraces the dark
nature that looms over all PoF shows with the black background, the
creepy faces in the ornaments and the skull that replaces the normal
star at the tree's top.
Yeah, it's pretty simple. But that, actually, was Heimer's aim on this
three-color design: "I usually manipulate the shit out of my collage
pieces," he writes on his blog, "but it was kind
of fun to leave them in their chunky halftone glory."
Think your poster is better? Want to see one of your designs get honored
next week?That won't be easy -- our inbox is already
been flooded with some amazing New Year's Eve-focused designs.
But, hey,
go ahead and try anyway, and drop us an email
with an image promoting an upcoming show right here. Oh, and, when possible, be sure to do so at least a week in advance of the show. Thanks!
