Event Poster
Agency - Rockets are Red
Client - AIGA DC
This poster was created to advertise and to be sold at this AIGA DC event featuring Roman Mars (99% Invisible) and local punk legend/web guru Bill Barbot (Jawbox/ThreeSpot respectively). The intent was to contrast the stiff monuments and government feel with the vibrant punk aesthetic that permeates the DC underground. The "liberty spikes" of the mohawk are Washington Monuments. The texture overtop the skull is an old map of DC; the skull is about to swallow a bitter pill which is placed over the Trump Whitehouse... another nod to how DC punk is personal AND political. Lastly, the type treatment is hand created on an old photocopier - crinkled and manipulated to be unique AND includes a small DC Flag.
