Contemporary Posters

Bráulio Amado - Bad Studio
     

The chaos of the first poster is balanced with the frame and the typography.
Amado uses a grid in the second poster but still breaks many 'rules' of design - the stretched smiley face, the overlaying of the word 'acid' on the other text. The black flecks give a photocopied- effect. Some may think this is laziness, but it is clear that they were left there intentionally by the designer.

'Imperfections' in the designs indicate independence from corporate bosses - this is design by people who are passionate about it, often for those who have an interest in the arts.

heavily influenced by DIY aesthetics
passion about the musicians represented in the posters is made clear through extensive research - the posters are personal to each gig, none of them following the same format
multi disciplinary - collage, type, illustration
designer uses bitmapping and photocopying to make type and illustrations look lo-fi
grids are employed but overlap is allowed where it benefits the design
