Exercise : Too much or not enough - Minimal poster

This is the poster i created for my music event with minimal information. I decided to only include the band name, the venue, start time and date as i felt this was the only information that was essential to the event.
For the background of this poster, i used a photograph of the band performing, as i feel it helps portray quite a lot of information that isn't given in text. From this image, you can get a rough idea of the genre of music, the vocalists image; tattoos, cut off shorts, open 'grungy' shirt, beard and floppy mohawk' establish an image of punk rock. The crowd screaming with their arms in the air, the singer almost stood on top of them, reaching out to them swinging his mic shows that this is going to be an energetic show and a good time. It portrays very well, i think, the raw energy i previously said i wanted to get across.
I used brightly coloured text over a black and white image to make it pop and stand out more.
I kept the design quite sleek and simplistic as i feel it not only looks good, but it fits in with the bands image.
