Typography - 5 - Type and visuals

I've started adding the text to my poster for the Kinetik music festival. For a bit of added contrast I added a metallic looking gradient to the first gear just to make it pop a bit more instead of being a boring, cloudy grey. The shade of blood red is staying the same and even with the change it adds a nice contrast. I've already begun to shape my type into this circular gear shape, and it's going to take some serious work to get all of it in the shape I need, while still making the more important information pop. At least I threw the time, contact, and location information on the bottom almost opposite the festival logo on the top left; this freed up a lot of room in my shaped text.
