"Red Hot Chili Peppers" poster design

Psychedelic

This illustrations reminded me of a psychedelic band poster from the 60's.  The figures are simplified, but also use complex design patterns on their skin and in the background behind them.  The composition uses a lot of curving, organic decorations.  Though the figures are simplified, the faces appear more detailed, giving you a good view of each of the members' identities.  

I really like the use of more basic primary colors used in the background while the foreground has a more complicated design with the use of gradations.  I also appreciated the pairing of a modern day band that's still active today with an art style that was more widely used in the past.  This is a very lively design and I found it to be very attractive to the eye.
