Soft Machine Promotion



For a few years now I have been interested in 1960s-70s psychedelic music posters and promotional material. I love the style, and the colour techniques they used. The bottom poster is one of my favorites and it really reminds me of one of my favourite artists, Aubrey Beardsley- in fact some of the posters resemble his style so much I'm pretty his paintings must have influenced many of the poster designs in the 60s/70s. I also like how you notice more and more as you study the picture- for example, the bottom poster shown above has the copy positioned to form the shape of a skull.
