Poster

Poster.

The poster is for the Manchester international tattoo show.

the poster for the show is not the most eye catching, a little boring, if this was in a shop or put up some where, people would just work pass it without knowing its there.
the poster itself has as the information that it needs, to tell everyone about the event.
this poster does not look like its had time taken on this poster.
the created of the poster have not be given a very clear brief, explaining what it meant to be, also it seems that they may not of had department for marketing, or anyone for artwork.
to say that the event is a tattoo show, where artist draw on people with needles, who makes beautiful piece of art work, and they came out with this poster.
they should of use the artist or ask them to come up with a better poster that is eye catching and useful. or use this as a running competition that could be held to get the event more before hand and then the winner poster is used for the event it self.
this poster is very boring, it does not interest me at all, it doesn't not have any bright colors, no design to bring me into read it, if it was on the wall.
i can tell that it poster is design just for tattoo artist, but they also well if they were not looking for it then they would miss it. even having the artist's names that are showing, it is too small to even catch any names.
At the very top of the poster they have placed the sponser, by doing this they will attacked different people who may have different interest then just tattooing. Such as the Vans on the wall logo, as these company are skating company, they supplies boarding shoes are the most famous for, but also doing other clothing.

This poster is from Singapore Tat 2 show 2010


I have used this one as example at the different to the Manchester poster, to me this is fair better idea to use this poster for a tattoo show, this one is showing a very classic desgin, already bring people into the this poster. it doesnt have too much writing just the right information, that needs to be there.

To me it looks like that they have taken their time on this poster, thinking who there aiming at, how to bring people into the that poster.

Using the tattoo gun, on the poster show very clear what this poster might be advertising.

Placings

The placing of the poster is very important, they have to look at the different magazines that they should place them in, such as 'Tattoo energy' or tattoo scout' these are British based tattoo magazine these are one the biggest tattoo magazines. It would not be wise to put them in some such as as the American base magazine as they American, and based over there, these magazines such as 'Skin & ink'
