Gig Poster
You are now going to use your pixel portrait to create a gig poster advertsing your bands tour. Give you band a name that links to the ‘feel’ of your portrait. Design a poster with the bands name and hit songs. I have a Pinterest board called ‘gig posters’ for inspiration or you can use ideas from the GCSE graphics board. Create three different designs. We will be printing off the best one and presenting it at the end of the lesson.
