Comments on: Poster Design for Black Metal Band Ex-Cop http://joetower.com/2009/08/poster-design-for-minneapolis-black-metal-band-ex-cop/ Just another WordPress weblog Thu, 18 Feb 2010 21:03:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Joe Tower http://joetower.com/2009/08/poster-design-for-minneapolis-black-metal-band-ex-cop/comment-page-1/#comment-178 Joe Tower Sat, 05 Sep 2009 15:30:24 +0000 http://joetower.com/?p=355#comment-178 Hey Dan, thank you kindly! Yeah, totally agree with you on the Carson sentiment. You're absolutely right on the BM aesthetic too. Most of it just tries to fit within the boundaries and ends up looking like ass - or the logo is really well made then the rest of the design becomes an afterthought and ends up underdeveloped. This piece was more of an experiment than a polished piece. I do like how it turned out and I need to push this style further. Saul Bass was the man! Thanks again for reading and commenting man, I appreciate it immensely. You should get a blog going Dan! I'd love to see what you're up to. Hey Dan, thank you kindly!

Definitely original compared to the "usual" BM decor (which is agonizingly stale and lame) and stands out from all of that. Nice touch with the cops body/limbs matching the .38 bullets. Can't wait to see what comes next duder. Keep it up!
