THE POSTERS THAT ROCK THE MOTOR CITY
There’s no place more fundamental to rock and roll than Detroit. Rock is at our very core as a hardworking, hard-driving metropolis known for making America move. For years now, venues like The Fillmore Detroit and St. Andrews Hall have been essential to Detroit Rock City, not for their capacity but for their hard-earned status as rock-and-roll meccas. The posters in this book aren’t just event promotions. They reflect a spiritual connection between a band and the essence of a city. Using iconic Detroit images, symbols and metaphors, the artists who created these posters sought to make a penetrating, graphic statement about their city.
The Fillmore/Live From Detroit was featured in 2018 CA Design Annual.
This amazing music poster design was featured in the Communication Arts Design Annual for three consecutive years. Each poster is printed on Michigan-made paper stock by French Paper and printed locally. All this work is a collaboration involving many designers, typographers, and illustrators.
