Hey. I need to design a poster for a "poetry slam"?

Question

any good suggestions as to I should include on the poster (pictures, quotes ETC.)

Answer 1

I'm just brainstorming here, so not all ideas may be viable, but it may trigger some ideas of your own.

1)) a single giant image of a microphone (vintage, modern, etc.)

2) A giant, wide-open mouth encapsulating an eye-catching quote like the following:
“If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.” --Emily Dickinson

3) A close-up of a beatnik smoking a cigarette with the following quote:
“Poetry is thoughts that breathe, and words that burn.” --Thomas Gray

4) Wrestlemania performing some serious smackdown, but the wrestlers or famous poets.

5) A parody on the "This is your brain on drugs" commercial, but instead you have the line "This is your brain on TV," literally showing an egg frying on top of a dilapidated TV set from the 70s, then having the next line be, "This is your brain on poetry," then showing the opening of an ornate egg into a beautiful fiery phoenix.

Answer 3

Probably. Plagiarism is rampant in schools. Many students even ask that we write poetry for them. Still, once a poem is posted, it's our property. By posting in a public forum we need to understand that we have no firewall against "borrowing."

Answer 4

Why don´t you try on words, in stead of images?

I don´t know, it´s just I´m both, writer and designer. If I were you, I shall check out for some grunge-graphic-designers. It is awesome what they do with typographies.

One word against a thousand images... How many photos shall you need to inspire what you feel while reading "captivity", "effectiveness" or "maroon"?

Hope it helps...

Answer 5

What is your media, or what software are you using? I used to make my poetry slam flyers/poetry cafe flyers by using a cool font, putting the time, date, place and words OPEN MIKE largest on the poster (important/kewl info = BIG TYPE!) and the fun cool design that was consistent on all my flyers was typing words as the border. I think my words were like: one world . all arts . all people . expression . speak . live . breathe . inspire .

Like that.
Have a blast!!
