Mcs953 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Have to say I am a fan of your work, waited in line for two hours to get the Cleveland poster, it ended up being too dark. Your original idea for Cleveland would have been amazing, but alas nothing ever goes easy for Cleveland, mistake on the lake, the drive etc.😰😰 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you know I created it specifically for Cleveland. I basically had to make Tulsa work with the design, which isn’t usually how I design posters for GNR.

I saw it in person and hit up the art director with a pic and said “mine was passed over for this”. The artwork itself is fine but the printing was absolute garbage and shouldn’t have left the printer. 51 minutes ago, Brose said: if you are the one I am thinking about, we are gonna be happy with any idea you come up with!

Sorry I'm excited either way. The arch in Zion park is iconic here. The red rocks are just fucking cool be it Moab, St George, or Lake Powell. I cant draw a straight line to save my life, so take my art criticism with the salt in the flats or lake. Are you going to be at the SLC show? I will buy you a beer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zion and the whole state is beautiful. Its wonderful once you get out of the urban sprawl. The 15 corridor from mid state to almost idaho is awful. Especially compared to where I am from. I once made the drive from Cleveland to Toledo and was pleasantly surprised how lush and green it was. I expected more urban sprawl and was blown away by the beauty outside the city.

A couple questions: Was there anything in particular that inspired the theme? Seems like a pretty deliberate decision to skip "Not in This Lifetime" and go with either "Fall Tour" or "Tour 2019" on this leg's merchandise. Did you receive any instruction regarding this?

The idea behind the design is that there’s SO MUCH beautiful outdoor space around SLC and mountain biking is really big there. They are no longer going with the NITL branding so you shouldn't see it on any posters for this tour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post amaninjapan Posted October 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2019 So weird that they've dropped the NITL branding on the merch but still use it in online advertising, billboards and in the electronic displays and video screens at the concerts. And obviously keeping the same setlist. Personally I thought it was a little disingenuous for them to market Honolulu as, and I quote, "the last stop on the NITL tour" back in December of last year and then made an announcement 4 months later that the same tour was continuing 9 months after the "last" show was held. At least with previous announcements of a new leg, they announced them before the current leg had finished. But four months after you said it was over? That's not cool. I can name at least twenty friends who would not have traveled all the way to Hawaii if it hadn't been advertised as the last show of the tour. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owenstar Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Thank you for sharing! I love the color scheme, so vibrant. I really love the tread at the bottom. The great outdoors is a huge part of the Utah experience. You cant go more than a house or two down without someone owning a trailer or some sort of atv, boat, dirt bike, what have you. Mountain biking is also a huge activity here, especially in southern Utah. Mormon missionaries ride their bikes while "serving" and a good number of them continue it in the mountain biking version as a hobby. Downtown, our drug dealers use BMX bikes to deliver their goods. Obviously the Utah mountains are kind of a big deal too. Really cool design. I also liken it to the SoCal trilogy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
