Music Adverts

For our axillary task we also needed to research into different music posters as we have to make one our selves to promote the artists album. Looking at different music adverts gave us an insight in how we should create ours.

Rhianna has used a similar colour palate throughout her poster to create a unified house style. At the bottom of the poster there is a banner that promotes the album and also has an image of the album so that is it easily recognizable. This helps to promote her album and help to sell albums which is important for the artist. As well as this she also has a large image of her self on the poster so again people can easily recognize that this is her.

Cold plays poster is in a similar design to their album art work. The use of graffiti is used as their album as so when people see this advert they can link the two together. It has a release date information to allow audiences to know when they can get it or they can pre order it on iTunes. The colour of the advert really stands out and the use of a white outline on the album name is emphasized on the coloured background. It is important for audiences to easily recognise album names and for them to be drawn to it in order to sell albums.
Noah and the whales also use the same image on their album, this helps to link to two platforms together. This poster includes ratings which are a key feature of magazine adverts. The use of ratings acts as a promotional device and will encourage customers to buy the CD. Consumers will buy things that have been highly rated. The style of advert reflects the bands genre for example this is an indie style band and the use of a camera and pale colours reflects this.
This adverts image compliments and amplifys the album name. The audience see the album is called 'lights' and also see a similar image. Again ratings are used here and business icons such as record labels are placed down the bottom of the page. This creates awareness of the artists promoters.

All these posters show the albums name, the artist, a picture of the artist, some of the songs included, reviews and small business icons towards the bottom of the posters. In order for ours to look realistic we have to use the same conventions of a music poster.
