Night of The Marabou - Gig poster



I really like this gig poster. It is a screenprinted poster for an electric night of bands and dj's held by The Evening Tweed design company. The artwork on the poster is by Sarah King.

I really like the splattered paint effect with the hand-rendered text cut out of the paint (through simple layering in Photoshop). The detail in the screenprint also shows the 'scratchy' and incomplete pain surface which is visually very interesting.

The typography is simple hand-rendered caps but works really well; I really like the use of scale to fit longer lines within the negative space created by the large copy.
