I LOVE this poster!! It's a psychedelic poster for a James Brown concert in the 1960's. It caught my attention because of the way the words have been 'squeezed' into the shape of the face, and that they are difficult to read. I also like the black silhouette of the James Brown against the masses of blue text fanning outwards.
I did a google search on the singer and came across another one of his posters in a similar style. This time it is black, purple and peach but still has the same silhouette of Brown, filled in with unreadable masses of writing. 
The design itself is psychedelic, funky and 'different' however it is very overwhelming and confusing so I don't think it's a very good poster for advertising the concert.
