A few weeks ago, my friend Kami approached me with a request to design “the gig poster that never was” for her father’s high school band. She wanted the poster to have the look and feel of a current gig poster. I love the aesthetics of a well-designed gig poster, so I was on board right away.

Pirahna poster

Designing posters as pieces of art, without the stress of solving a real problem, can be a really fun escape from time to time. It was also fun to work on because I spent a good deal of time playing guitar with her father while I was in high school. The poster will be framed and given to him as a gift at Kami’s wedding this weekend.
