Here's another gig poster I did this week (Jan 18th; if you're reading this in the Leicester area, you have little excuse for not turning up!).

The headlining band are Blood Red Shoes, who sound great. Their name immediately made me think of the Michael Powell film "The Red Shoes", so in a weird bit of lateral thinking the poster has ended up with a big picture from "Black Narcissus" on it.

I was gonna do some cool stuff with coloured paper etc., but it didn't really come together, and the photocopying hasn't really done the picture justice, and the original ended up a mess of sticky labels & tippex as I attempted to get all the information right - so not a perfect poster, but it stil looks ok;



The flyers look quite cool, if ever so slightly ballsed up by my getting the name of the support band wrong and having to correct it at work before running down to the printers;



From a poster-maker's point of view, I think I'm starting to understand the logic behind bands calling themselves things like "Spoon", rather than, say "The Great Loyalty Oath Crusade".
