OUIL603 Flight Facilities poster

My second poster is going to be for Flight Facilities' European tour. I want the imagery to focus on aviation, as their whole branding playfully references their own interest in it. It will be a two colour screen print so that I can incorporate something of their two colour logo, if not the logo itself:
I really like the idea of having a boxed design as it creates uniformity in the poster. I was drawn to the top right composition and began to draw a biplane.

I drew it traditionally, scanned it in, traced it digitally, printed it out and then traced it again with pen in order to maintain a hand-drawn feel to the line quality. When I arrived at the top right image, I felt that it looked a bit grotesque and didn't capture the fun feel of Flight Facilities' music, so I simplified it to the bottom left image and then began to prep the artwork for screen print.


I got to this point and decided that I really didn't like the combination of the plane and clouds and the composition wasn't as dynamic as I was hoping for, so I scrapped it for looking goofy.

I'm going to start again with the bottom left thumbnail
