I chose this poster design because it was inventive and different from most. The main point is the dark circle in the middle of the main triangle, drawing your eye into the date of the concert (October 12th, 2014). Lines come together, creating triangles and photos. Within these bold lines, there are images inserted into the triangles that are complementary with the orange and yellow tones. The visual balance goes along with the typography because it is aligned to read top to bottom. The pictures inside the triangles are also right side up, therefore it points downward on the poster.
The negative space creates the triangle by its white lines. Without this negative space, our eyes would struggle to see the triangles set up, connecting to each other. The lines are also part of the negative space, portraying a negative gap, creating simple passages that brought out the boldness for the shapes. The lines are continuous and draw the eye off the paper to continue it.
The plane of the poster is smooth and flat. There is nothing that creates a solid three dimensional view towards the poster. The plane is parallel to the picture, making it simple and crisp.
Along with the balance, the poster could be viewed symmetrical but asymmetrical as well. If you were to split the poster in half, the lines would be symmetrical. Although, because of the differences in the photos placed, it causes a sense of disorganization. This poster is a great example of typographic elements because it portrays creativity and all the vocabulary within the readings that we have been focusing on.
