As I struggled to find posters which advertised the songs I chose to research, I decided I should try to find out what some conventions of posters are to help me when creating our poster. I found out that some forms and conventions of posters advertising albums include that many posters seem to have an image of the album on the front. They also seem to advertise the artist(s) more than the actual album themselves, for example if you look at the Jade poster, you can see that the name of the band is more clear than the album title, which is shown here in very small writing which cannot be read. When looking at the Alicia Keys cover, although the title of the album is quite big, it is still not quite as significant as A.K herself, as there is a huge picture of her and her name is also the biggest font on the poster. Also, when it comes to advertising many producers do not create a poster, but instead use the Internet to advertise. For example, they will upload a photo of the album, with then an article advertising the album, the artist and producing the date it is out. Therefore I believe to make a realistic poster we must emphasise on the artist(s) by putting a picture up of them, but also make sure the album name is legible (whether this is down to font or font size) to make it as noticeable as possible. We can also see that due to the pictures the genre of the music comes across differently, for example we can see that the Alicia Keys picture looks very modern, and t
he shadow across her face creates the impression that her music will be in the style of
R'n'B in contrast with the image on the Jade poster. The fact that the poster and picture have been edited in the sepia style, making it seem very old fashioned, especially as we can see that the image seems to be from the 70s era, gives the audience the idea that the music will be quite folk like. We can also see that the difference in font styles create the impression that the Alicia Keys album will be very modern, in contrast with the Jade album which seems quite old especially as it has the funky brown border around certain parts of the poster. Overall to create the impression that the album is going to be modern we would need to use quite a bold, plain font that does not create the idea that the music will be old fashioned, however we also need to make sure the genre of the album will be got across to the audience
as well, and font styles are a good way to do this.
