THE DIGITAL AGE BEGINS TO PERVADE THE '90s MUSIC POSTER DESIGN SCENE.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a Photoshop concert poster design for SMASHING PUMPKINS with special guest, GARBAGE, performing live at the American West Arena in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, on December 7, 1996. Artwork by the late, great Frank Kozik.

"I didn’t really like the band. This was one of my first Photoshop posters ever, though. I just started doing computer stuff around '95, '96. I had a Mac system. I remember thinking, "Oh, let's use every filter." You know, as we all did once? At the time, I was really obsessed with Rudi Gernreich, who was a '60s photographer-fashion guy, like Peggy Moffit. I was collecting really weird late '60s, early '70s photography annuals. I was really getting into it, visually. And so, the only connection the poster has with the Smashing Pumpkins is the orange. I hated the band, didn’t really know much about them; so this was just me tripping on myself again."
