Abraxas Promotions

the next gig was my first attempt. i tried to use brash colours for the type of music - new wave indie sort of stuff - and figured i should go mad. i found it hard to be very creative with it to start with but it does what it needs to do.

For the 2nd gig i went at it with a pencil and berol black felt tip because it was a "rock and fucking roll" gig. I got the travisty idea from their myspace page, just went with it. im sure you can tell i like typewriter fonts so i quite like it, but the pen didnt really give a good finish. the no signal input just sort of works with what i heard, i quite like how . Im well chuffed with my microphone as well. its based on the abraxas logo. the original was produced on photoshop and is much more "graphics". The promotion name typewriter font went a bit tits up tho. looks like one of them shit fonts you get and never ever use.

For the last poster i wanted to build on the amount of illustration after reading an article in last hours (blog to follow at some point!) and went for a toaster cos i can make them look pretty nifty in my opinion. then i set it on fire for the same reason that i chose to put it there in the first place. The bands were much more pop punky than the others so i went off on a graffiti style bubble writing thing. the grid is made up of 5 horizontal strips of the same size and i think its pretty obvious in the final outcome.
