Poster Break-Down

This is the final draft of my poster, the techniques I used are:

• I used a different font for the magazine font and the band's house style to differentiate between the two.
• I included a page number, and footer for the magazine as most music magazines have this (I looked at Kerrang! and NME) however I didn't use a bleed all around the page as this is more common in tabloids.
• I included the iTunes logo as it promotes buying the song. I also included a QR code that links to a download of the song.
• I used a photo of the band playing live, as rock music is usually advertised in terms of live performances.
• I used Photoshop to merge the colour of the lights from the top of the image, I did this to make the magazine advert flow better, and create a dark area where the band name is to make it stand out subtly.
• I used the convention of including reviews from other magazines to show the credibility of the product.
• I used the standard hierarchy of font size, with the band name as a priority, then the song name, and finally the release date.
