Making your concert poster work
Venues and bands put up concert posters to sell tickets, and the good ones still get photographed and kept. A gig poster has to show who is playing, where and when, with an image that matches the sound.
What to write on it
- The headline act in the biggest letters, supporting acts beneath.
- Date, doors time and venue, grouped together.
- Where to buy tickets, and the price if it is a fixed one.
One tip
Describe the band's look when you set it up, such as neon synthwave or hand-drawn folk, so the artwork feels like the music. Put posters up two to three weeks before the show, when people are still deciding what to do that night.
