This is my first draft of my poster that is advertising my CD. I chose to feature an image similar to the one used on my digipack in order to create a recognisable product and a direct link between the two.
I chose to place the text at the bottom of the poster, in a large and clear font, making it easy for the audience to see and read.
Underneath this, in smaller text, are the details about what the CD/DVD includes and in the bottom right when it is released (out now).
I plan to change to background colours on the poster as i believe it will create a stronger image and link more with the digipack. I plan to put the image in black and white, however keep the motuh and the pill in colour. This links with the connotations that are running through the digipak (that there are two sides to everything and even though things might look okay, sometimes they are not. It also shows how addiction can get worse and progress into something serious. This is shown through the black and white being the negative and the colour being the positive's of the situation. As the image will be predominantly black and white it shows that this situation is mostly negative and is washing away the positive's) and therefore creates a strong link between the two and becomes a recognisable product for the audience.
When designing the text i chose to stick with conventional pop punk styles and do the text in black, white and red. I chose to feature the majority of the text in black as it is a strong colour and would stand out easily against the background. However i chose to outline the text in white (artist name) and red (digipack title) to help it stand out further whilst also making it recognisable as a pop punk product. The choice to outline the artist name in one colour and the digipack title in another was made as it simply helps the audience distinguish between what's the artist name and what's the CD title.
