There are a lot of good ideas in this gig poster, but there are some things that need to be improved. I keep finding designs where the text just wasn't given any breathing room, and this design is another example of font without room. The font is okay and it goes well with the illustration, and the designer did a good job of using continuity in his/her design.  I love the illustration, and I like the use of color.  I like the idea of using dividing lines to separate the font from the illustration. unfortunately the font was crammed inside the dividing lines and this creates a box effect where the text feels like it is being crushed between to heavy objects.  The illustration would be so much better if someone moved the dividing lines further apart and gave the font some room.  Another thing that might help the design is moving some of the text so that it isn't center aligned. Doing this could add interest to the design and make the font arrangement less generic.
