Band Poster Ideas
A promotional poster for a band should convey the personality and style of the band members and their musical talents in a manner that will grab the attention of both fans and passersby. There are endless possibilities in terms of the design of the poster, but the imagery displayed must really advertise the band in an interesting way, whether it be for a concert tour or a new album release.

Photograph
-
One of the simplest designs for a band poster showcases a tasteful photograph of the band members posed in an interesting manner. They could be performing different actions, one of which might be the most obvious -- performing onstage. They could be on a street in their hometown or doing something related to one of their song titles. The more eclectic the image, the more it will remain in the mind of the viewer. The pertinent information need only be added in a visible space.
Artistic Portrait
-
An artistic portrait of the band is another viable option for a poster. An artist whom the band members respect and admire could produce a representation of them for the poster in a style that befits their original work. This way, the band shares a local artist with fans, and the fans in turn are exposed to the work of an artist loved by their favorite band. Whether their image is silk-screened or in watercolor, the possibilities can lead to fun and cool posters.

Original Artwork
-
A common option is to hire an artist to create a new image for the poster that represents the style of the band. If the music is dark and sinister, a black background with a lonely figure might work. A group of children playing would be more suitable for a band whose music is lighthearted and fun. The art must match the soul of the band, or the effort will be lost on the viewer.
Text
-
A band poster that forsakes the imagery altogether and instead opts for a dedication to text is also common and works well to convey the relevant information. A poster of this nature will showcase the wording in prominent, different fonts, all of which produce a specific mood or taste. The size, shape, color and layout of the words are what make up a poster with no images. This poster type is straightforward but still allows the band to showcase its personality in a simpler way.
