Project #4 Gig Poster

For this project I decided to use the art nouveau style to make my gig poster. Art nouveau is characterized by curvalinear and plant-inspired forms. It is very organic looking and usually very detailed. I chose to make the gig poster for the rock band Coheed & Cambria. This band's albums tell a science-fiction story, and I used one of the characters and some other elements from the story to design the poster. In art nouveau pieces, women with long, flowing hair and gowns are often used as the focal point, framed by floral/plant-like motifs. That is why I chose this art style - so that I could present a character from the story in a different, more detailed and elegant way than she would normally be depicted.

Some art nouveau artists that inspired me were:

Victor Horta


Aubrey Beardsley

Alphonse Mucha
