Originally published in the monumental ode to newspapers, McSweeney’s Issue 33: The San Francisco Panorama, this poster is a magnificent chart compiled by Reyhan Harmanci that presents “A partial survey of the past 50 years of popular and unpopular music in the San Francisco Bay Area.”
Designed by Volume Inc. in San Francisco, the poster is as rockin’ as the music it represents, with a clear and direct organization and a great look to boot. If the photos make it seem like the color in the poster is turned up all the way to 11 that’s because it is, with fluorescent spot colors kicking up the volume on good ol’ CMYK.
If you bought Panorama you can already enjoy this poster in newsprint glory, but if you like your posters in nice paper and fluorescent colors, then you can spring for a fresh copy at the Felt & Wire store. Or you can send Volume a hand-crafted thank you and get it for free — details here.
