30 Seconds To Mars | Dusseldorf show poster

What a doozy. We were stoked to print this poster, firstly because it came courtesy of well respected poster artist Todd Slater, and secondly because it used a number of great techniques in the one image.

Technique 1 / split fountain from yellow to red. Deluxe.

Technique 2 / super fine bitmap for the black smoke. Tidy.

Technique 3 / what you can't see in these photos is the slightly metallic varnish layer that star-studs the black and carries the name and symbols of the artist. Sublime.

Technique 4 / transparent bitmap dove. Started off with a transparency of 75%, which proved to be too subtle, then worked our way up to around 35-40%. Beautiful.

Easily one of the most enjoyable prints we have produced.

This was an edition of 50, hand numbered by us, then signed by the band before sale at the venue.
