Event Poster

I am instantly attracted to event posters with bright colors-- they capture my attention and make me want to find out what this bold, fun event must be. Therefore, when I saw this poster for a Free Press Summer Fest outing in Texas I was instantly attracted to it. It's bright green and blue scenic drawing with bold pink bubble letters on the top yearned for my attention. I think this is key when designing an event poster. You must use colors that will capture a person's attention-- they would want to find out what the poster is for and therefore maybe come to your event because of it. The colors and design however, also need to represent the event or person or idea you are trying to get across. This poster was for an alternative/indie music festival and has a city-scape with people dancing in it. The bright colors work for this design whereas if it was for a heavy-metal music festival it probably would not have worked as well. Therefore, if you stay true to the person, band, or idea you are trying to publicize and use colors and features that will capture a person's attention, you will have an good event poster.
