To make the tour poster I first had to get some ideas on what to add to the poster. I got a collection of ‘punk’ themed tour posters and CD covers. I saw a recurring theme of black, cartoons, skulls and violence.

Below is my finished tour poster. I didn’t want it packed with text so I made it fairly simple, but my main theme is dark and depressing and that is shown through the black and white colour choice and the image of the model looking moody directly at the camera. I also added cartoon skull around the page to add to the theme.  I added reviews and how to buy tickets in smaller writing to make sure other bits of information were seen such as the name of the band, the location and date and also the “final tour” to make bring in the audience. I wanted to add this so there would be demand for it as it would be the last show.
