Poster

The poster is A4 because we wanted it to be similar to a billboard advert. By making sure that it is the same size as billboard posters it means that the designs would be accurate.The images of ‘Tom Tripp’ the main artist’s attire is casual this shows that he is a relaxed, easy going artist. In the side images the main artist is wearing a baseball cap this attire links into the genre that the artist is apart of (Rap/Hip-Hop).The reason why I used two images in the poster is because the main image at the front shows he’s cheeky but happy however the two side images could prove that although he seems cheeky but he can also be serious

I placed the twitter and facebook logo in the poster because that is another advertising strategy so that he can get a wider audience and gain more followers. Most young people are on either of those sites

In both posters where it says ‘out now’ that is where I am placing the album coverI was not entirely sure whether to make the back grounds plain white or having the sky as the background so I asked my teacher Ms Prince for feedback and she suggested that I kept the clouds.Personally I think by having the clouds as the background it could symbolise ‘Dreamsville’ that he’s in a fantasy still or it would represent that he see’s a bright future for himself in his career.The reason why I used bright colours is because lyrically the artist ‘Tom Tripp’ does not rhyme about what stereotypical Rap artist speak about, he’s more fun and optimistic so the use of bright colours illustrate that he’s different and has a unique mentality .

The different colours links in to what the album name is (True colours) so I used two bright looking colours and one dark colour so that the poster did not look to over the topHaving used three colours for the t-shirt display that the artist has three sides to him;•Red-passion•Blue- dreams/desire•Black- ambition and dedication

Poster1 Poster2The different coloured music notes represents his passion for music, by it being scattered it suggest that music is his life and the use of different coloured notes show that not all music are the same for example music not all rap music are the same, meaning that not all of them speak about the same stuff some of them are negative and some are positiveThirdly the reason why I decided to make the music notes in different colours is because firstly they link in with album name and secondly I tried the notes out in just one set of colour and to me it looked too plain and wasn’t very appealing or advertising.

In this image I merged thenotes and the different

coloured teachers with a white background personally it looks nice but it’s too much going on that I think the audience will lose focus of the artist who is the main attraction

Overall I will leave the decision up to my group to see which one they like the most. The reason why we are creating a poster is because this is another advertising technique to promote our artist.I made the font a little bit big because I wanted people to see it with out actually being next it for example drivers who are driving through the area also the poster is colourful so that it stands out from other posters and eye capturing to an unknown audience which will lead to Tom our artist gaining more publicity.
