Analysis of Posters.

  

Typical features of a music poster advert:

• Artist/ band title at the top
• Large photograph taking up 2/3 or more of the space
• Often pictures of the band or the album artwork
• Reviews from notable well-known music magazines/ newspapers
• Clear release date
• Important information (release date/ band name/ album name) all readable and visible from a distance
• Colours reflect the style/ concept of the album and will reflect the music genre
• Simple clear fonts - sans serif
• Include a name of the most popular single on the album
• Text stand out from background using a different colour

These features also apply to tour date posters which have to make sure the listing is clear but the main focus is still the band or album artwork which has to be large and the main focus to draw the audience in.
