The Sugar Beets, voted Eugene's best band two years in a row, needed a poster for their big New Year's Eve 2000 show. They knew they wanted to use the "trippy" three-eyed dog image and a marquee look around the show info.
Solution:
I created a star theme with the font, the background, and the marquee. The stars seem to be falling from the band name, which has prominent focus above the three-eyed dog. The color pallette evokes an electric blue, myterious, funky night vibe.
