In this project we were required to create a ticket stub for an upcoming event. The stub had to be laid out in an artistic way while still showing organization ad hierarchy. It must include all of the correct information as well. I chose the Rock Hall Three-For-All concert featuring Cheap Trick, Joan Jett, and Heart. It was a concert I attended, and one I was really looking forward to attending. I started out creating just the background shapes- boxes and lines and all. I then added the title and names of the bands. Since Heart was advertised as the leading act, I gave their name a fancier font than the other two, but kept the sizes similar.
I then added the rest of the information like time, date, and location. I used a legible sans serif font that is nice and rounded to make it easier to read while giving important information.
At this point I felt like just the plain lines on either side of the title were bland, so I changed them to multiple lines. I also aded a pretty cool retro microphone vector in the background just for some depth and to make it more interesting. At this point I went ahead and added the other portion of the stub with the barcode.
I then added a typographic block to the other side of the ticket with the barcode. It contains the seating and event info as well as the title and acts. I added a star behind it all, again for just a little flavor. This is a rotated view.
I then went back and added the ticket information like seating, codes, and prices. I also added the same star from the right hand side behind the "supporting acts" to create a sense of pattern and repetition. This is an outline view of my final ticket.
And here is the final version.
