What best represents the band R.E.M?!


Question:

What best represents the band R.E.M?


I'm designing a poster that represents R.E.M. as a whole. I need a lot of ideas because there is so much out there on the band due to 27 years of being together. I just need some ideas of what you think of them. Thank you for your help.


Answers: Album art and inner sleeve collages (but you know that already : )

These would be interesting:

a. Michael Stipe's shaven head shot from an unconventional angle - it's so recognisable that it's iconic.

b. Peter Buck's guitar picks, or maybe this:

c. Bring the SONGS or LYRICS to life. In a mixed media style, maybe, or illustration. See as a reference "The Illustrated Beatles" by Alan Aldridge:

There is a fantastic poster I saw years ago which put at least two dozen Beatles songs as pictograms - like a bell pepper with army stripes - "Sgt Pepper". It was great fun to decode. Many REM songs, or the more famous ones, could be done in that manner.

d. Try to get the concert posters through the ages. Groups like Pearl Jam had really cool ones in the early years, some hand drawn or done by local artists where they played.

Some PJ ones:

Try this link for actual REM ones (there are surely many more, so dig around the net a bit):
