Matthew Jacobson was on the case, but even he didn't know how special last week's Jack White concert at Detroit's Masonic Temple would end up becoming.

Jacobson is the artist who designed the commemorative posters for White's two shows at the Masonic over the weekend. At first glance, they look like they're just White's name and the show's date. But look closer: Jacobson chronicled the day's events both on a local and worldwide level — everything from fans purchasing White's new album at Third Man Records in Detroit to the score of the Tigers Opening Day game to Russian bombing in Ukraine — and spelled them out in the poster's background.
