Fall Out Boy



This is a picture of a flyer that I saw on one of the bulletin boards here at parkland. It's advertising a tour for the bands Fall Out Boy, Gym Class Heros, Plain White T's, and Cute is What We Aim For. All of them are coming to the Assembly Hall to play. And I just thought that this was a really creative and interesting promotion. The Tour they are on is called "The Young Wild Things Tour". I think that the illustration the artist has created was a humorous and whimsical play on the book Where the Wild Things Are. I think that it was targeted for a youth and adolescent market because that's the main audience of this genre. But also because most of the audience probably has read this children's book, and can relate to it.
The people portrayed as the Wild things and Max are the members of the head lining band Fall Out Boy. You can tell this because the creatures all resemble the members, and the fact that the Name Fall Out Boy is the Largest on the page. All of the other names have a different style of fonts and get smaller on down the page.
