The Thee Alex Guide to Poster Design for Dundee Gigs

It's very simple to make a poster for a show in Dundee, you must follow the rules as laid out below -

*Pretend you're a promotions company and not just a bunch of stoners by putting '(insert made up name here) presents' at the top of your design.

*Find some clip art online, something military or germanic looking should do.

*Pick an 'ironic' VeryMetal font for the band names.

*Describe each band beneath their name (using a different font) making sure you liken them to groups the casual listener has even less chance of having heard of than the original band you're describing.

*Further show off how much you know about music by inventing some genres, mixing a couple of established ones will do.

*Drop in a couple of phrases unique to your home town, or that are injokes with your circle of friends.

*Book the Balcony Bar.

*Put that the door price is a 'tax' and set it between £3 and £5 depending upon how many bands are playing.



CONGRATULATIONS! You've made your first Dundee gig poster!!
