Radial Posters

The blue poster was inspired by two things-- the "old world" feel that is associated with classic English writers like John Bunyan (from whose book "The Pilgrim's Progress" the band has derived the themes for a lot of their songs), and also the nautical theme of a couple of their songs ("The Perfect Storm" and "Fool's Errand").

Here's where I got the compass image:

This yellow poster was inspired slightly by one of the posters in our Typographical Systems book, random experimentations with rectangles of varied transparency, and a little of the late '50s/early '60s aesthetic found in one of my favorite movies "That Thing You Do," where a lot of the advertisements and commercial arts featured brightly colored rectangles at slightly askew angles:
