Music, like the way you prefer your toilet paper roll (under or over) or the condiments on your turkey sandwich, is a severely personal matter.

As a matter of fact, I often choke on my words when people ask me what type of music I devour. Sure, I listen to music throughout the day, but when asked what kind, I can never spit out an answer. Thankfully, I know I’m not alone in this feeling. At least that’s what I tell myself. But I’m always baffled how designers can create concert posters that perfectly and eloquently visually describe music for the masses. How can something so individualized and unique to oneself get boiled down to a poster design? It’s miraculous, truly.

Concert posters have been around for centuries, but with each new music movement, new art and techniques came with them. As a result, these posters have seen the days of everything from purely minimalistic styles to over-the-top completely psychedelic and vibrant designs.

The history is rich regarding concert posters, and today we’re sharing the top five concert poster designers that you need to follow on Instagram.

Mishka Westell | @ mishkawestell

Based in Austin, Texas, Mishka Westell is an artist, designer, and illustrator. Having created concert posters for Metallica, Jack White , Mavis Staples, the Alabama Shakes, and countless others, you could say that she’s quite the eclectic artist. Each of her concert posters highlights the depths and aesthetic of the band, but she still manages to slip in her personal style that leans towards something I’d like to coin “trippy minimalism.” Think bright colors and movement balanced with geometrical outlines of more intricate designs. Don’t know what that means? Check out her feed, and you’ll instantly understand Westell’s extensive skill set.

Jason Munn | @ munnjason

Jason Munn began his career in 2009, working for local venues and independent musicians under the pseudonym The Small Stakes. Now, however, Munn works under his own name for huge clients such as Death Cab for Cutie, Flight Of The Conchords, and The Postal Service. His artistic style is so distinct you could spot one of his posters from across the concert and instantly recognize it as one of his. They’re geometrical, often monochromatic, and purely intellectual. It’s hard to create a simple design that also makes a lasting impact, but Munn’s concert posters do just that. One of my favorites is his concert poster for vocalist and guitarist Ben Gibbard, as the design is simple yet so intrinsically entwined with more profound thought and precision.

Justin Santora | @ justinsantora

With a degree in studio art from Northeastern Illinois University, it only makes sense that Justin Santora paved a path in the world of freelance illustrating and screen printing. His professional life of screen printing posters, creating art, painting, and drawing began in 2008, and he hasn’t looked back since. His Instagram feed is proof that he has an immense artistic ability when it comes to concert posters and with everything he creates. Most of his work centers around quiet, soft settings focusing on architectural elements and muted color palettes. The artists he’s created concert posters range from Childish Gambino, LANY, John Prine, Phish, and countless others. However, a personal favorite is a poster he created for Childish Gambino’s 2019 Lollapalooza performance that features a nostalgic scene of kids jumping through the stream of a fire hydrant gone rogue. If it didn’t sell out, I’d have purchased one for myself.

Gregg Gordon | @gigartsf

Gigart, founded by the artist Gregg Gordon, was founded back in 1996 and since has created work featured in magazines, newspapers, on TV, and in national ad campaigns. With clients from Twitter to ESPN to DreamWorks Records to TBWA/Chiat/Day, to say this brand is booming would be an understatement. Gregg’s Instagram is overflowing with inspirational prints, posters, and designs filled with vivid colors, intricate line work, and unmatched originality. In addition, he’s worked with artists such as Dead & Company, James Taylor, and Megadeath to create concert posters that truly represent that bands. With almost 4,000 posts on Instagram, you can lose yourself in the scroll.

C.m. Яuiz Bautista Dominguez | @ cmrtyz

Let’s talk about an eclectic artist, better known as C.m. Ruiz Bautista Dominguez. Dominguez can seamlessly swap between elegantly detailed watercolor paintings to poster designs that are intentionally rough around the edges. To have the skills to change your aesthetic from piece to piece altogether is something not many artists have. Dominguez, however, is one of those skillful creators, which makes his feed an adventure to scroll through; you truly never know what you’re going to find or see, making it a true thrill. His concert posters are nitty, gritty, surreal, and genuinely creative.

25 inspiring gig posters

Gig posters are an arena in which graphic designers can really indulge their passion for both art and music. Here's our pick of the best - plus some classics from the past.

Music is constantly progressing, this can also be said of the design work that supports artists and bands as new genres are developed. From the flower power days in the late '60s to the anarchist punk era, each style of music creates new styles in design.

On top of this, over the past few years, design studios, illustrators, and graphic designers have been creating stunning, limited edition gig posters for shows in their area. Endorsed by the band, these posters usually go on an extremely limited print and sell out instantly. It's easy to see why; not only are they perfect collectables for music fans but the design is often flawless, making them a must-have for any art lover.

Below are some of the most inspiring gig posters from recent years with a few all-time classics thrown into the mix too.

01. Joanna Gruesome by Kieran Gabriel

Based in the UK, Kieran Gabriel has created a wealth of gig poster designs for bands across the country. Using his handmade, D.I.Y. aesthetics, his creations have an organic charm to them. We particularly love this gig poster design thanks to its juxtaposing colours and clever font placement.

02. Los Campesinos! by Magnificent Beard

This two colour screen print with gold metallic ink was printed onto grapesicle French paper and it's an absolute beauty. Created by design studio Magnificient Beard based in Dallas, Texas, they've produced some incredible gig poster designs as well as t-shirt prints.

03. Obits by Drew Millward

"If you don't know these bands, you should do," exclaims designer and illustrator Drew Millward. He's easily caught our attention with this brilliant gig poster design. Preferring to draw 'the old fashioned way, using pencils, pens and a love of the craft of illustration, Millward's subject matter can vary dramatically. We love the attention to detail in this particular creation.

04. Bat for Lashes by Telegramme

Run by Bobby in East London, Telegramme studio is an ongoing series of collaborations, inspired by music, people, unique ideas and beautiful things. His energy is directed into Illustration/design and art direction, whilst specialising in screen-printed gig posters. We love the symmetry and typography in this one in particular.

05. Ruby Rae by Katherine Hardy

Iconic illustrator Quentin Blake said, "Katherine's work seemed to me to be full of implied narrative, with images that were both strong and subtly nuanced," and we couldn't agree more. We love the geometric shapes of this gig poster design, teamed with beautiful colours to create a gorgeous environment.

06. Heart of Darkness by Hammerpress

Missouri design shop Hammerpress makes all sorts interesting designs for greeting cards, posters, art prints and other paper goods. They've collaborated with various bands including New Pornographers, Elvis Costello, Beck and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and are known for getting experimental with letterpress typography. This design uses different size letterforms with the centred illustration creating a balanced and well structured poster.

07. The Decemberists by The Heads of State

An award-winning studio based in Philadelphia, The Heads of State have created gig posters for bands such as REM, The Decemberists and Wilco that stand out and grab your attention. This colour screen-printed poster was designed to announce The Decemberists' 2011 performance at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia. The typography was hand-painted by Brandt Imhoff.

08. Pulp by Kii Arens

LA artist Kii Arens wasn't formally trained in graphic design, but became fascinated with album covers and band logos from an early age. He credits Saturday mornings in the '70s spent watching Sid and Marty Krofft as his main inspirations for colour. This gig poster for Pulp captures Jarvis Cocker's flamboyant stage presence and is complemented with a fantastic colour palette.

09. Mousonturm

Künstlerhaus Mousonturm, a theatre in Frankfurt, Germany hosts independent artists and collectives from the fields of dance, drama and performance, as well as selected positions from the visual arts and music. The gig poster above instantly grabs your attention, simply just using red stripes with a sans-serif typeface; it doesn't rely on imagery to make an impact.

10. National by Jon Contino

Brookyln based designer and illustrator Jon Contino is one of the leading designers working with hand rendered typography in a digital setting. Other than designing great work such as this gig poster for The National, Contino is the owner of the New York clothing brand CXXVI .

11. Black Flag by Raymond Pettibon

Black Flag is an American hardcore band formed in 1976 that was massively influential but had one of most evocative band logos in music/design history, which was designed by Raymond Pettibon . Pettibon became a cult figure among underground music devotees for his early work associated with the Los Angeles punk rock scene, and this poster is typically stark and uncompromising.

12. She and Him by Jason Munn

Jason Munn is originally from Wisconsin, but now calls Oakland, CA home. He began making posters almost 10 years ago for local venues and independent musicians, designing under the pseudonym The Small Stakes. Now, working under his name, Jason continues to focus on posters, as well as design and illustration commissions. This two-colour screen print for She and Him is a clever play on the vinyl record that's beautiful in its simplicity.

13. Coup D'état

A combination of oversized typography and illustration constructs a perfect balance in this gig poster for a Brooklyn punk night. Unfortunately we cannot dig up the great designer who created this piece - if anyone knows, please tell us in the comments box!

14. Ramones and Talking Heads

Like many of the zines in the punk era, gig posters were based around the hand-crafted DIY style and relied on self-circulation. They were often printed in black and white then photocopied to save costs - but as this Ramones gig poster shows, you don't need the highest quality tools to create impactful messages.

15. Jimi Hendrix by Bob Masee

Originally from Vancouver, Canada, Bob Masee began designing psychedelic posters for bands in the sixties, including Jefferson Airplane, The Doors and Fleetwood Mac. This gig poster promotes Jimi Hendrix live in the Saville Theatre, London. The Bob Masse signature style, with his creative colour palette, unique lettering style, and bold compositions, shines through.

16. Dave Matthews Band by DKNG

A design studio founded in 2005, DKNG are Dan Kuhlken and Nathan Goldman. A combined love of design and music brought the pair together, with dynamically different skill sets ranging from fine art to film production. The four-colour screen print had a limited print run of 730.

17. phish by james flames.

James Flames is an illustrator currently based in Asheville, NC. He has already created stunning screen printed gig posters for the likes of The Black Keys, Mogwai, and Dr Dog. This work for the band Phish was a four colour screen print and featured three metallic inks. The print run of 700 sold out almost immediately and we can see why!

18. Why? by Eric Nyffeler

Eric Nyffler is Doe Eyed - a design studio based in Lincoln, Nebraska. His illustration style mixes gritty geometrics with hand-drawn elements to create a sometimes whimsical, sometimes abject style that is helping to redefine the visual aesthetic of the Midwest. This print of his Why? gig posters is currently on sale for $30 at the Doe Eyed website.

19. First Aid Kit by Adrian Dutt

This poster was created by Bristol-based illustrator Adrian Dutt. He creates every one of his gig posters for independent record store Rise , mostly for exclusive in-stores. Doubling up the lion illustration gives the image an almost 3D effect that when teamed with the simple colour scheme, really makes it stand out.

20. Mogwai by Kevin Tong

Kevin Tong is a freelance illustrator currently living and working in Los Angeles. He has created a number of gig posters and this is his third creation for rock outfit Mogwai. He designed this colour variant specifically for the band and the edition is extremely limited. Now sold out, the poster had two colour versions.

Danny Excess is a graphic designer and musician, originally from San Fransico but currently based in Los Angeles to pursue music and poster art. Now the drummer of rock band Love and a .38, he is also the exclusive designer of gig posters art for The World Famous Roxy Theatre. We loved the icon design of this poster for Orgy.

22. St. Vincent by HERO

HERO is Buffalo-based husband and wife duo, Beth Manos and Mark Brickey. Set up in 2003, they sought to create hand-crafted illustrations for the music and culture industries but have also worked with a variety of clients.

For this project for My Morning Jacket, he drew on his experiences in the southern swamps and My Morning Jacket's most recent album 'Circuital'. It is currently available in Ben's online store .

24. The Black Keys by Kevin Tong

We know this is Kevin's second inclusion in our gig posters list but we just couldn't resist showcasing his diverse style. The Black Keys have turned up a lot in of independent poster designs and we love that the band are so supportive of independent graphic designers and illustrators. This poster takes influence from Chicago's Wayne's World.

25. Andrew Bird by Frida Clements

Frida Clements is an independent Seattle-based graphic designer and illustrator specialising in screen-printed poster art. She has also designed for Sasquatch! Music Festival, KEXP, and Flatstocker and her stunning gig posters have been exhibited around the USA. We fell in love with the attention to detail on this one - a mast for a violin!

The sprawling, mind-boggling metropolis of Russian Moscow has long been one of the theatrical stages on which the great dramas of Europe and Asia have been played out in grand style. Burned by Napoleon in 1812, immortalised by Tolstoy, utilised by the Bolsheviks and championed as a bastion of heroic defiance by the post-war communists, it’s almost hard to believe just how defining the historical events that found their home on Moscow’s streets have been. Moscow tour guides will easily be able to mark the major must-see landmarks on the map, from the onion-domed orthodox Saint Basil's Cathedral, to the political powerhouse of Red Square just next door, while others will be quick to recommend a ride on Moscow’s famous subterranean metro system, or a visit to the UNESCO-attested Novodevichy Convent on the city’s southern side. But Moscow is a city also in the throes of a cultural wrangling between the old and the new. Creative energies abound here: Boho bars and pumping super clubs now occupy the iconic mega structures of the old USSR; high-fashion outlets, trendy shopping malls and luxurious residential districts stand as testimony to a city that’s now the undisputed playground of the world’s super-rich, while sprawling modern art museums dominate the cultural offering of the downtown districts north of the Moskva River.
