This Governers Ball festival poster achieves a very cute, old-time Disney/Warner Bros.-style cartoon look in both the illustration and the bubble letters used in the larger font. With this cute style, however, like many festival posters, it seems, comes a decrease in readability, particularly in the names below the headliners that have been given very little room. The dates and location are also around the same size, and those are also important bits of information. Because of this, people would have to look very closely at the poster to really be able to read who is playing there, what days the festival is held, and where the festival is held. Granted, we are in the age of the Internet and can simply look these things up if necessary, it proves rather inconvenient and contrary to the overall purpose of a festival poster, even though many people probably only care about the headliners, anyway.
