An Ode to Gig Posters

Music and design go hand-in-hand—don’t you think? It’s no secret that we have some talented musicians, gig poster designers, and avid music aficionados on our team. You should see our #music channel on Slack. It’s lit.

Over the years we’ve heard from a ton of Dribbblers about how music lead them to a career in design—most recently from JP Boneyard in the latest episode of Overtime. From a young age, JP was touring with bands, organizing music events, and making gig posters. The posters, album art, and websites he created helped him make the leap to design school.

He now collaborates with artists and designers daily and organizes poster shows across the country as a producer of The National Poster Retrospecticus and creative director for the Fifty-Nine Parks Print Series.

Feeling the sudden urge to plaster your walls with posters? Find out when Flatstock or The NPR is coming to your town. Or if you’re interested in pulling the squeegee yourself, check out The Printmaking Bible for an in-depth look at screen printing and other printmaking methods.
