This is a Face the Music festival poster by Andrew Fairclough.
This poster has a great use of color scheme, incorporating the color wheel when deciding two opposing colors is always a good idea. While it is not a music festival poster, there was a lot more detail put into this poster and more design elements were used. The way the artist incorporated Music technology into the poster has to be my favorite design element. All of the type at the bottom is readable. Fairclough put much thought into this piece, and you can tell the words 'Face the Music' were handled with detail and attention. All of the individual pieces of this poster fit together well, and it makes for something that is not too simple, yet not an overly complicated mess. There are some festival posters with whacky psychedelic designs, but they just focus too much on looking artistic, rather than actually being readable. If I were to change one thing about this poster, it would be the size of 'Face the Music' as well as the kearning on the type at the bottom. I would want the title of the conference to be bigger, and the letters at the bottom to be slightly more spaced out. Overall, good idea for a poster.
