Poster of the Week
Chop Suey, Fri Nov 15.
Sure, neon pink has its place. As does bright, blinding yellow. But while many think that those new-wave hues are always fitting for flyers, I disagree. I tire of seeing every single poster in this city in a shade fit for an Avery Hi-Liter. Worse are terribly altered band photos, crazy, illegible text, bad cartoon drawings of devils, devil women, and other so-called "rock and roll" images... I've had enough! Sure, this poster might not be the best fucking poster in the world, but at least it's not in a color matching Kylie Minogue's eye shadow. And at least the designer kept the imagery clean and simple, instead of jumbled and confusing. There's a place for the bright, loud, and messy, and really, I don't mind it as much as it may sound, but a change of pace sure is nice every now and again. MEGAN SELING
