What makes a good concert poster?
I must say I'm very confused. I've been looking through Pearl Jam posters from this tour and the 2006 tour and, for some that really jump out at me and make me go "Wow, that's neat," people criticize!! Then there are others that seem sort of average to me that people praise.
I am somewhat of an artist and have some experience doing different types of prints myself and I'd say I'm pretty good at it. I've never attempted something as complex as some of these but I would categorize myself as qualified to comment on the aesthetics of these posters. And, so, I must say that many of the comments these people make (I'm talking about the threads on Expresso Beans) are actually very ignorant and artistically uninformed, in my opinion. But some of these people are actually considered experts in the area of concert posters.
So I ask; what, in your opinion, makes a good concert poster?

I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

I know there are few at ebeans that are very compassionate in their views and tastes and dont like anything that others have to say that is contrary to what they "know". Just have fun and dont hurt other peeps' feelings; like it for yourself, the show, the setlist, the artist, whatever! And if you dont like it, dont poo poo too much, and by all means, never try to make a dime on somebody elses talent.
but
what really makes a good poster?
do you like the way it looks? - do you like the colours, the imagery, the sublime message? - heh,
then that, my friend, is a good poster
who cares what anyone else thinks
nigzactly
i like a lot of different posters with no uniform reason to guide me.

My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12
