This is a poster for a music festival called Sasquatch. I used this example because it has the same basic typographic elements of text that is necessary for a concert poster to have and this will be important to consider during our poster remix assignment. The first piece of text that stands out to me on this poster is the largest scaled title of “SASQUATCH” in the top right corner. It also contrasts it’s white background more than any other text included which could make it a point and seems to give it greater importance and notability. It also functions as a line of text as well as a small plane when including the other smaller shaped text boxes with other information underneath it which draws my attention next. The concert name, place, and dates are gathered together and close enough in proximity to create their own smaller plane of text. Then my eyes move down to the large image in the middle of the page which separates the title from the set list. The set list is in a much smaller font and creates a plane of text covering about a third of the page. The poster in general is split up into multiple planes by large boxes of background color or the large image. This poster does not feel balanced due to the heaviness and the darkness of the set list and image although because it is split up into three major planes it makes it easy to follow. It also feels static and asymmetrical due to the blockiness and unevenness of the planes.
