Before we go any further, lets first take a quick look at where, when and how music posters began with a little 'music poster history'.

History -

Many critics and music enthusiasts alike, agree that music posters are a window into our cultural past as they are imprints or memories frozen in time. It takes only but a moment for a poster of swirling colors and hallucinogenic imagery to induce a picture perfect memory of the war and peace of the 1960’s or a glance at a 70’s music poster to recall the lights of the disco dance floor.

For most however, music posters are a substitute for wallpaper and it’s not surprising that many modern music posters represent a triumph of commerce over art. Still, this view ignores the rich history of the poster and the cultural timeline it represents.

To truly understand how music posters have come to evolve, you must first understand their history. Over a century ago, posters were one of the most important means of visual communication. In the beginning, there was an international love affair with the poster and poster artists vied with each other for recognition. Since that time, music posters have evolved, one in which their appearance and role has constantly changed in order to meet the changing needs of society.
