I love this poster designed by Kevin Tong! It is wonderful how he created an ocean scene, and while I am not familiar with the band that is emphasize I assume that the poster serves its purpose very well. The illustration in the background is the perfect combination of color and contrast and I like how there is a colorful glow that follows the Submarine on its way down. While the design appears to have been put together in Illustrator it still has the slight feel of having been hand painted which I really like. Despite the wonderful illustration the font could use some work. I can see how the designer used a line to separate the two different fonts and I think that is fine because it leads our eye down the page and creates a good flow throughout the piece. The font for the supporting act, location and date could be made slightly larger and maybe even a little thicker, simply because some of the smaller words begin to sink into the background. I don't really like the capital H in "tHe"and I'm not really sure if the designer did that because that is how the band name is drawn or just because he thought it would make things interesting. This poster also has a limited about of info and I wonder if the info that the designer had couldn't have been made more extensive to fill space. I like the illustration and the font, and it all works well together.
