JACKNIFE


Jacknife are a gig and tour poster-producing agency based in Bristol. As well as an online store they also hold stores at some of Britain biggest alternative festivals including Glastonbury this year. Sifting through their store you can't help but appreciate the ornate style of these psychedelic vibrant posters. Perhaps considered too busy or illegible by some others would find the textures and organically illustrated style inspiring.

Utilising these old styles harking through to the days of free love Jacknife produce modern posters for recent music tours and festivals. Their online store seems to hold a fraction of their designs but is still defiantly worth checkin out! If you'd like to check out a wider variety you can find where they're holding their next festival store from the Jacknife homepage.

Jacknife's aim is to simply create great posters for events across the country and they are keen collaborators when it comes to creating their work. Searching the Internet for event posters you'll find a whole array of retro and modern posters across countless styles hosted by a number of online stores, you wade rather than surf. And unless you know exactly what you're looking for it's hard to find consistently good design. So if you're looking for recent festival posters carrying solid designs and bursting with artistic flare then Jacknife should be at the top of your to checklist.
