Queens of the Stone Age Band Poster

Psychedelic Style

Designer:  Craig Phillips 

Workbook vol. 38 pg. 118

When I saw the typography in this design, it instantly reminded me of the typography that was used in many psychedelic styled band posters of the 60's.  It has the same style of form and arrangement.  Like psychedelic band posters, the typography is arranged around the main figure in the composition.
Aside from the typography, the patterns on the figure and the fabric also have psychedelic qualities to them.  The flowing, organic patterns and curvy lines closely mimic the patterns commonly seen in psychedelic styles of art.
