Gaslight Anthem Posters

Advanced Design I: Visual Brand/Design Systems | Chemi Montes | Fall '12

For this project I designed a series of posters in three different sizes for the Gaslight Anthem. Since the band’s fan base is generally males in their mid-20s, the illustration on the posters reflects the romanticized views of women that this generation most likely experienced through comic books and other similar childhood objects. Many of the band’s songs deal with broken relationships and naiive views of romance which are symbolized by this idealized, super-heroine type girl on the posters. Also included in the project is a shirt design inspired by the posters to be sold as a merchandise item on their European tour.
