When Daniel Hughes was approached by the band The Armchairs &mdashl comprised of his friends and roommates &mdashl to design a poster for their first ever headlining gig at a venue in Philadelphia he received a single directive: It would be cool if it involved spacemen or laser tag. So, with this creative brief Daniel set to work designing and printing the poster in which he included a layer of glow in the dark ink. While this last detail was less than stellar in its success, the poster exceeded all other expectations.
