This is the Seijun Suzuki Film Festival Poster by John Wong

While I am not a fan of the mixed western and english letter language combined into one poster, this is a rather colorful and eye-catching piece. The colors used in this poster are not so loud as to create an eye sore that you usually see on music festival posters. The different fonts used for Celluloid chaos and Beast In a Neon Cage are not fitting with the rest of the type used in the poster. You should definitely not use more than three different fonts in an incorporated poster. The bands may have insisted on having their band logos used on the poster, which I can understand, but some of the bands are difficult to read. I like the use of the cartoonish eyes in the poster. Using the angular colors is what I like best about this poster, having something too geometric can annoy some people. This John Wong poster implies fun based on the colors and non-linear lines used. An Interesting design, that is definitely not a trippy, hallucinogenic mess like so many festival posters.
