M3 2015

Maryland's annual all-day rock festival for what is primarily forgotten hair bands, M3, just occurred over the past weekend. The overall design of this poster pretty much fits the idea of what a modern-day hard rock festival poster should look like - some rusty demonic imagery, a dark background, capital letters throughout. With the exception of the headliners, who use their logotypes, all of the acts are listed in a capital, thin, sans serif font, showing that they don't exactly mean serious business, but still want to be loud and in your face. It is nice that the band names are neat and orderly rather than leaving them all as the same font size and having them stick out at the end without any invisible edge that lines them up. The host listing at the bottom, particularly with 'Tawny Kitaen & Bobbie Brown', feels off. It might be better to keep them all on one line or use two lines to list the hosts rather than mixing it up in the middle.
