(1) Spoon Poster
Designed by Ryan Trayte

Have you ever wondered who designs all of the awesome posters for your favorite shows at the Rialto? That would be Ryan Trayte and he donated this Spoon poster.

As Lee Gutowski explained in her October 27, 2010 Zocalo Magazine article The Art of Rock and Roll:

Ryan Trayte, who does design, marketing and ticketing at the downtown venue, has been designing gig posters for Rialto shows since Beck played there in 2006.

“I decided to do my own poster and show it to Curtis (McCrary), the (Rialto) GM, and to Beck himself. The both liked it, and Curtis had me do more design from then on,” Trayte explained about the genesis.

Trayte, whose personal business is Saywells Design , has an obsession with gig posters. “My home office is riddled with them,” he says, and his Rialto work includes posters for national acts like Wilco, Neko Case, Los Lobos, My Morning Jacket, The Temptations and the Indigo Girls.
