For my final logo design I wanted to stay close to their current logo, using the characteristic helmet as this is quite individual and the band are known for this helmet and the red and blue colour scheme. However, updated the logo by adding a slight gradient and drop shadow. I then also used this particular typeface as the font for the band as I thought it looked very modern due to the low weight of the font and the way the 'A' and 'E' are different to average fonts. I wanted a very modern feel as this reflects the music genre.
I then chose to use these designs as the final two ep covers as I felt they were most successful out of the rest of my designs. The beige design is simplistic, yet the textures add more to the design making it a lot more interesting. The beige colour scheme is also a bit different and not usually seen on artwork for the particular dub-step genre, however, I feel it works particularly well with this design and it makes the logo really stand out. The second design really reflects the EP title with the use of the rainbow gradient. Also, the star and smoke brushes and textures add depth and make the final design a lot more interesting. This space theme is seen a lot throughout current dub-step graphics as its quite futuristic and modern, just like the music genre is.
I decided to go with these two poster designs due to the fact that they were the most successful as posters. The text stands out against the background in order to attract the audiences attention yet the designs themselves are also interesting due to the layers. I built up layers of colours and stars and lights to represent the atmosphere of the events and reflect the style of music.
