The Psychedelic Poster

Sally Tomlinson's article was an interesting chronicle of the psychedelic rock poster. She did a great job of chronicling the history of rock music at the time, showing how it evolved over the years especially with the growing popularity of the music festival. It is interesting to see how the poster evolved into an art form, which largely goes unappreciated. Today many music poster are simply way to let people know when and where a show will be. In the 60's it was a way to get people to start experiencing the psychedelic nature of the show they were going to see.
