i really like the layout of the first poster. the imperfect half/half grid gives it that scrappy feel that appeals to the punk inside me. also, the typography is quite interesting. its legible, but looks as if it doest want to be haha. its successfully put together with the headline band at the top in the largest leading, alng with the date and the price. the times are also well arranged and fit in well with the grid.
in the second poster, the typograph annoys me. why blur it? WHY??
the illustration is pretty cool though, and gives the viewer a reason to have a good long look at the poster. all the anarchists on top of the build with the authorities climbing up castle-invasion style. its good touch to have the skinhead falling off as they generally have predjudice views.
the layout has a collage sort of feel because of the unaligned baselines, but this is a very typical punk design feature (as are the randomly shaped boxes around the band names).
im not sure about the 3rd poster. the colour choices are weird and the image doesnt feel right in the format that the poster is in. i do quite like the composition of the text encircling the illustration, but once again, the illustration is dodgy as fuck.
the brashness of the poster is kind of explained with the oriental text. not wanting to makegeneralisations here, but this brashness comes hand in hand with the visual language of "cool and japanese".
the fourth poster is amazing. totally based on collectivism, it must be for a selection of leftwing bands. i like the combination of photography and illustration, and how well the images work in the grid with the typography. i like that i can tell that the font chosen is eurocentric because of my calendar project.
