Why is it so hard for designers to put text in a format that is easy for the viewer to read? It appears that Dan Keezer, the creator of this poster decided to use text wrap. It took me a while to find all the information because all the words are broken as they move around the shapes. Someone would need to work really hard to get all the information read, and it is questionable as to whether or not most people would be willing to stop and put in the time to try and read this. It looks like the designer was going for a retro/patriotic look, and while the colors are fine, I just don't like the way that this poster is set up. The cassette tape is sitting right over what I am pretty sure are the headliners, and while it is see through, it only makes the text beneath it harder to read. I still don't understand why the designer wanted to use text wrap. In the end, it looks like an attempt at a cool effect that was accomplished through lazy means.
