Glory Days “Key Party” Poster
This one’s from, oh man… 2014 I think? It was a poster to promote a comedy show my team Glory Days was doing at a bar in Brooklyn.
The styles here are bang-on for the work I was doing at the time. Cooper was the font of choice for Glory Days, and I still stand by Cooper as the greatest comedy font of all time. “Seductive” imagery in the background and risqué copywriting (“a one-night stand”) as a cheeky tie in to the “Key Party” motif.
For the stock photo in the background I made kind of a lens correction behind the title font to kind of give it that weird surreal horror feeling you get in movies like Rosemary’s Baby. I wanted this poster to be a little bit eerie, a little creepy, to put an air of danger and excitement around it.
I also fucked up the halftoning really badly. Way too aggressive. Just fucked it up real good.
Hey, you live and you learn.
