Smashing Pumpkins poster

This poster for a 1997 Smashing Pumpkins and Fountains of Wayne concert looks pretty cool at first, but then the colors start to cause a bit of eye strain. I do like how the text is formed around the image, although with the lines running behind everything, it makes it a little difficult to read the thinner letters. The poster also consist primarily of purple and a greenish yellow, which causes a sort of vibration effect that again makes it a little harder to read everything that is not "Smashing Pumpkins." It would have been good to use a different color that goes good with purple or with the greenish yellow that wouldn't cause that vibrating effect and would then make it easier to read the text over it.
