"Call Me Invincible"




This is the coolest design I've ever seen! It fuses together the faces of Pat Benatar and Debbie Harry! It also puts together two of their song titles, Call Me by Blondie and Invincible by Pat Benatar. This design was used on t-shirts and promotional materials for the tour they did together, also joined by The Donnas.

This design has some vector graphics. Since it's a drawing, there's not too much to be said about lighting. It definitely serves its purpose. It attracts you to the poster, making you read what they are advertising. It's such an awesome design that you'll want to come to the concert, who could resist that line up? It's a very functional design. It's very creative, not to mention eye catching. Besides the morphing of their bodies, the flowers are very significant and stand out. Those vines weave all around each other, down to the banner where it says “Call Me Invincible”.

The reason everything connects could be to represent how Blondie and Pat Benatar are connected. Debbie and Pat are both influential women in music. Because they’re women, they had to face struggles to be taken seriously. They both were popular in the same era. Pat and Debbie were both front women in their bands, though Pat was just Pat Benatar, her band didn’t have a name. The only thing this concert was missing was Joan Jett. That would’ve just been mind blowing to see all of them in one night! What I like about this design is that it includes The Donnas. They often got left out of promotional materials. Yes they aren't as famous as them, but they're just as talented. They kinda took them on like they were their big sisters or something! Every once in awhile I'll see someone wearing this shirt at events where there is girl music represented!

I went to the show they did in Brooklyn and took some videos, only for audio purposes. If you decide to watch these please don't actually watch them, they are not good. I don't feel like taking an actual video of something and not enjoying the show so I just sling the camera on my wrist and record it for the audio.

All Fired Up by Pat Benatar

The Tide is High by Blondie
