My gig poster was done on an existing band that I have seen on this date at Higher Ground. Silversun Pickups is probably one of my favorite bands right now. They have a really awesome euphoric sound with insane guitar and bass riffs that just roll over and over. My main inspiration for this poster was based on the song "Panic Switch". The song it about having a nervous breakdown and essentially locking yourself in a room when you flip your "panic switch"-- the inability to calm down. I just wanted to illustrate roughness and a sense of panic through the vectoring: no lines are smooth, and the text is also jagged. In the music video for the song, one of the open shots is actually a guitar in almost the same angle. The guitar is white, along with the band member's wardrobe. There's also red light accompanying the full band playing shots. The gig poster reflect that point of the song and it's visual aspects.
