Advert for 'Cycle Show 2007' found in an old edition of 'Mountain Bike UK' Magazine

I can use this example as research for existing promotion for events.

Personally I dont think that this poster does a good job of selling the event, as I feel it doesn't reach the target audience too well. The colours are fairly subtle and there are a lot of them, and the busy texture of the image seems to take away from the impact that the poster should create.
