The Omega Project is a band that formed on the Hawaiian island of Kauai and now plays in New Orleans. I tried to use fonts that are both easy to read and visually appealing. I used greek letters wherever I could in the band name, as omega is part of the greek alphabet. For all other letters, I used the narrow, sharp, seriffed Garamond font. I placed an omega with the earth in its center just above a picture of the band. The band members all have a unique look, so I thought putting a picture of them on the poster was important. To either side of the omega, I have information about the upcoming show, such as ticket prices, opening acts and show times. I put certain words in bold and stretched others out to maximize what space I had. The band members are also in other bands in New Orleans that have gained notoriety, so I placed the name of each band member below the picture, with the name of lead singer, guitarist and frontman in the largest font. The black background makes the photo and all information stand out. I added the frame around the band name to add style and to take up blank space. First using Quark was frustrating because, although it's used for similar projects, it's completely unlike any of the Adobe graphic arts software. After finding some information in the text books and some tutorials online, I got the hang of it quickly. I'll be using this program in the future for similar projects.
