Poster

We did two tour posters using two different images, we added John Newmans web address, social network and promotion for the album. We also added ticket offices and telephone numbers in small printThe poster with the face on it, overall I prefer this poster as I think it will get the audiences attention more and creates a better link between the music video as it uses the same actor in music video. Our second poster, uses our inside left image with added on tour dates and conventions of tour posters.

Digipack

Front- We used this image as the front of our album as it is a strong photo that, represents our dance genre through the bold colours as it shows the upbeat the tempo. The powder paint also creates a link between the music video. The typography used is bold, edgy and block capitals this suggests that the song is beaty and powerful.

Inside left- We all felt that this image was very strong, powerful and emphasised the powder paint in the music video. It also emphasises the tempo of the album as the bright colours suggest loudness. We also put a small print at the bottom of the image to match the conventions we found in our research.

Inside right- We decided to keep this plain black to contrast with the colour shown on the front or inside left, it also adds an element of John Newmans iconogrpahy,this side will have the CD on it.

Back- We used the back of her head as the back of the album. This part of our digi pack the longest as we were not sure whether to use our front typography or a different in order to infuse John Newmans iconogrpahy, we ended up using our front typography. We added the barcode and other conventions such as, record label and production company

Poster Research: Rudimental

Rudimentals, Home album and poster uses the same image, but extended as is it is promoting the album with the most known song in bold in order to gain the audiences attention. It also uses digital technology in order for the promotion to reach a wide target audience i.e #THISISHOME.

Poster Research: Sub Focus

 

Sub Focus, Torus album uses dark colours this contrasts with the title as it is white and stands out from the background. The typography also puts the important information in bold i.e. Tickets on sale now. The image used in the poster and album cover is similar and uses there logo in the centre of the shot, although it does not show the artists but this is a convention of the dance genre.

Poster Research: Disclosure

The image used on Disclosures poster and album cover are the same, although the poster has extended the image, the main image identifies the artist as it is an image of when they were younger. The typography used is bold and puts the locations of the tour in different colour  but is apart of the iconography of the band as it is orange. The image used connects with the audience as they are looking directly at the audience and this is emphasised as they have been drawn on the image.

Poster research: Beyonce

Beyonces, Mrs Carter World Tour poster breaks out of the typical conventions of tour posters as it does not feature much additionaly information such as tour dates, this may be due to her current reputation and suggests that as she is powerful in industry she relies on her existing reputation and target audience to find out her additional tour information.
Also, the print at the bottom uses a smaller font and uses a lighter font in contrast with the black of the artists name and tour suggesting this is the most important feature of the poster.
The image used shows the power the artist has as she is dressed as royalty but also takes up the whole poster.

Poster research: Plan B

 

Plan Bs, Ill Manors album cover and tour poster uses the the same image for both but has extended the image for the poster and added conventions such as, tour dates to it. Both products both use similar typography styles, this creates a link between the two and allows the audience to use the iconography of the artist to attract them to the two products although, in the poster the artists logo is not used at the top of the image but a similar font colour is.

The image used in both also uses the artist and a background of London as Plan B has an iconography of being from London and this is often shown throughout his music videos aswell.
