Poster: Shut It Down Sunday

Another project I had to do for my internship at 747 Productions was a poster for another event at Shots Pub N' Club - called Shut It Down Sunday. It is a contest for aspiring artists, where you pay an entry fee then get to sing, or rap, or whatever and the winner gets some cash and free recording time at our studio.

This poster was pretty simple, I just happened to have a bunch of really cool shapes to work with. I kept the format and fonts similar to the first poster I did. After laying down all the text I would need, I started making the composition which was basically a rowdy crowd leading up to the city of "Peoria". The skyline isnt quite the same...but I think it's at least obvious enough to be a city. I had a rapper outline and stuck him on the right, as if he were the special guest performer (Gutta ENT). I threw in barbed wire shapes at the top just to tie the piece together more using more white images. I dont know what made me chose orange for a color, but it goes nice with the black (even if it may be a little Halloween-y). I'm particularly fond of the contrast that the "IT" has in the middle of the title. Breaks it up nicely I think.
