Beautiful Color Contradiction in Joyce’s Poster Design

On a curious search for interesting use of Color Theory in designers works, I found a Music Poster Design (by Illustrator Mike Joyce) on www.swissted.com. I researched the band ‘television’ mentioned in this design piece to gain some background information. This group is a rock band most popular in the 70s known for their impressive technical proficiency and cleanness in their recordings (see here). 

Firstly, I will examine the Typography in this piece. The text is a simple Sans-Serif type; on further investigation, I discovered that Joyce (the designer) uses the font ‘Berthold Akzidenz-Grotesk medium’ in all of his design works (on www.swissted.com). It appears that this designer focuses more on the overall composition, simple shapes/types and colors. However, even in the image’s simplicity, there is a message communicated. The Title Text ‘television’, the band’s name, sits on a wall of shapes, and the small informational typefaces are behind this main wall - urging the viewer to ‘visit’ and come inside this visual gate.

Furthermore, this interesting wall of rectangles is created using Split Complementary Colors. The orange and blue are Harmony Colors, while the blue and pink are close in proximity on the color wheel, and are hence Analogous Colors. The ‘rock’ genre is echoed through this color contrast, yet, there is an air of order and harmony (hinting at the band’s highly attuned recording style). There is a literal cold barrier at the forefront of this piece, the cool-toned blue ‘bars’, yet underneath, there’s an organized warmth with the pink and orange grouped rectangles. I feel as though this multi-faceted feeling this poster brings aligns well with the band in question.

#hatfulofhollow #thesmiths #johnnymarr #mikejoyce #andyrourke #morrisey #johnporter #johnpeel #rogerpusey #dalebuffingriffin #martincolley #mikerobinson #roughtraderecords What a combo The Smiths & John Peel . John Peel was one of the greatest DJ’s ever ! His music curation was 2nd to none. This record includes a session from #davidjensen #bbc show. For this record being a live in the studio you realize just how talented this band was. Thanks to Mike Halloran, I had the pleasure of hanging out with John way back in 1985. The Smiths played The Royal Oak way back in June 1985 a great show that Amir and I co- promoted. This album is a testament on how good they were #heavenknowsimmiserablenow #whatdifferencedoesitmake what I remember most about our show was the artists insistence on us handing out fliers saying “ meat is murder” and the entire band minus Morrissey going to MacDonalds, after soundcheck Enjoy (at Hollywood Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSK7Roolf0a/?utm_medium=tumblr
