I’ve always been a fan of gig posters. I think my first exposure to them was on the old brick walls of the Fremantle Woolstores when I used to ride past on the bus. I loved their bright flash of fluro paper (it was the 80’s yo) and the stories the images conveyed about the band and their music. These posters captured my attention in an instant which is exactly what a good gig poster should do. But it’s only when you stop and take a better look that you really appreciate the artistry of the medium.
