Hookworms Poster Research

I found this Hookworms poster brief is more interesting than others. I have never made a band poster before so I think it will be fun to try that out. I have listened to quite a few their music and watched some music video. It is not my favourite kind of music but I admire what they create and I like their passion. I search for some of their previous poster, and they all kind of  dark and moody which it is what I like and want to do in my work. I realised for the poster, not just drawing a image but the text are also very important. So I need to look into some writing design which might be hard for me because I have a terrible handwriting( which may consider a good thing?).

Goal for 504

- Experiment with different media.
- Do more testing, sketching.
- Do more research about what I want to do and about the briefs.
- Look at some artists work that can benefit and inspire me into my work.
- Enjoy and relax.
- Seek for advice and feedback.
