Possum Kingdom is a 1990's alternative rock cover band in the Philadelphia area. We need a poster design for an upcoming gig. See 'Must Haves' for key elements.
Our set includes songs by Weezer, STP, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Better than Ezra, Sublime, Green Day, Lit, Third Eye Blind, Gin Blossoms, etc. If you know this music, you'll get it. Our set is high energy and upbeat, and we don't take ourselves too seriously.
Style: I leave that to you, but I like many of the recent concert posters done for Primus, if that's any indication of what I'm looking for. Maybe a subtle 1990s reference, or something to convey the 1990s style or music.
You can find our current logo on www.facebook.com/philly90s - you may choose to work with this, or not, your option. The award will be based on my subjective overall impression. If you choose to include a new logo design on the poster, we may use it for ongoing projects (T-shirts, etc).
Target Market(s)
Music-minded people from ages 21-55, with sweet spot around the age 40s. The poster will hang in restaurants and shops in suburbia, so images should be chosen accordingly.
