Ajumma's Journal: poster design

Here are my favourite 2010 concert posters from Korea in no particular order:

1. Tables are turned as Wheesung appears here as 13 members of the audience; the singer could give lessons in posing to contestants on America's Next Top Model.

2. Nice touch to this poster featuring music by Jeong-yeop, singer-songwriter and leader of Brown-Eyed Soul but why can’t they remember to add the ‘s’ to the plural noun? Shouldn’t the word read “humans”?

3. The playful arrangement of the Hangul letters even suggests an abstract depiction of a child’s playground in this poster for the “Play With Us” concert, featuring Kim Gwang-min, Lee Byung-woo and Yoon-sang. Check out their haunting "Lullaby" from the OST for "A Tale of Two Sisters".

4. This colourful poster for Kingston Rudieska stands out for its imaginative portrayal of music as an organic thing.

5. Liked the energy conveyed by the splash of orange as background to the singer bathed in red light. Lee Seung-hwan , the former husband of actress, Chae Rim, has been in the music industry for 21 years and recorded 10 albums. How’s that for staying power?

6. This profile of Lee Sora reminds me of one of those Buddhist or Kwan Yin statues I must have seen in a museum in

Korea

. More intensity than serenity, though, with the slight furrow in the eyebrows.

7. Half expected Johnny Depp’s face in weird makeup to appear under that top hat but what’s more intriguing is the missing vocalist behind the mic. Where's Park Hyo-shin?

8. Three cheers for these two guys, Kim Jang-hoon, a.k.a Donation Angel and Psy, who aren’t afraid to ham it up in front of the camera.

9. Featured this poster of former g.o.d. member, Sohn Ho-young before so please excuse my bias for posting this pic again. Need I explain why?

10. Lucid Fall has enjoyed great success at home but has yet to make an impact abroad in other Asian countries. The hand-sketched outlines here of a traditional streetlamp, the artiste and his guitar case as well as the minimal colours are charming in their simplicity. Understated classiness seems to be the hallmark of his music and that’s reflected as well in his album covers. Click here for an earlier posting.
