The top half of the poster for “The Young Wild Things Tour” is given over to displaying the tour name and the artists featured on the tour. The headline act, Fall Out Boy, are listed as a headline on the poster, with the band name in a large version of their brand’s typical font, recognizable as it is used on CD Covers, their website etc. Below this, the three support acts are listed, with Gym Class Heroes listed in a font which is only slightly smaller than the headline act, as they are the main support on the tour, then the other two support acts, Plain White T’s and Cute Is What We Aim For, are listed below this as the secondary support groups. All of the support bands are also listed in their own brand font, which has a dual effect aimed to benefit all of the artists involved. Any fans of the support bands will recognize the bands more easily in passing as the artists are written in logos, and therefore this will aid ticket sales for the tour, benefitting the headline act. Simultaneously, fans of Fall Out Boy who see the tour and enjoy the support bands will recognize the names and logos in future, therefore providing new fans for the support bands ad raising their profiles in the American music scene. The centre of the poster is given over to an image showing the members of Fall Out Boy as animated characters in the style of the famous story “Where The Wild Things Are”. This is where the inspiration for the title of the tour came from, and so the image is being used to relate to the headline across the top of the poster. As this is a newer tour poster, the image displayed here is actually an online tour poster, so the base of the poster is taken up by advertisements for the websites of the various tour sponsors, plus a pair of hyperlink sections, one taking the observer to Fall Out Boy’s official website, the other to a link where you can buy tickets for the tour.
