Graphic Design 2: Concert Poster
Due Date: May 25, 2016
This project will allow you to create an concert event poster that could be collected by people that were at the concert or fans of the band. The Sasquatch Music Festival is an annual event held at the Gorge Amphitheater in Washington and this is the 15th year of the event. The festival features multiple bands that perform on different stages during the three day event. There are several artists that create posters for the event and for each act that will perform. The posters are created by graphic artists that incorporate image and type to create a piece that is valuable to concert attendees and fans.
