Band+Poster+Description

Communication Art: Band Poster

You have to choose one of the following options: **Logo** or **Band Poster**.

This **Band Poster** should represent what the band means to you. The music’s Rhythm, Tone, Style, Articulation, Dynamics and Expression have to be turned into descriptive words. AND in turn, those descriptive words have to be translated into images.

Try to Avoid:

1) Try to avoid literal image translations of the Band’s name. (For example, “The Stone Temple Pilots” and having a pilot character standing in front of a stone temple image or “The Eagles” and having an eagle image)

A couple things to try:

1) If writing is present, the writing should have strong typographic personality which is a continuation of the band’s personality 2) The Band Poster has to have a bold presence, which cut through all the clutter and says “Read Me”

For this project you will create two posters. Both of the posters will be from existing bands. Not only listening to the music, but also research of the band’s meaning, emotion and identity is recommended for you to understand the band before creating their poster. A reflection of your thought process and creative decisions will be included with each poster. In addition, a CD or MP3 file of the band’s music must be included for assessment purposes.
