Past student poster analysis

Digipak












                                                                                      Poster

Conventions used:

• Name of artist
• Name of album
• Date of release
• Company logo
• Website 
• Brand identity

What is good about the poster:

The poster in its own right does use brand identity because on the album the artist is on the front cover, this can create the link between them. They have I believe positioned text to fit the image perfectly. The title of the song in huge red letters catches the eye and creates interest to the image. They have used many conventions creating a clear point about who they are and what they are.

The white background creates a good base layer for contrasting which is always a good and simple way to attract the eye. The singers have been dressed in the stereotypical way, hoodies, smart but casual shirt and jumper, the singer on the right has got his untucked stopping the clothing from being too smart. The posses that they are in are 'rap like' with a laid back style with there hands at the middle of the body looking neutral, but at the same time there expressions of the hands look as if the mean business. The font used is basic but effectively big to catch attention. this all I think complies with the genre.

What is bad:

Perhaps make the brand identity clearer or add the digipak front cover bellow the date of release. Even though the white back ground helps with contrast it can also play havoc with Photoshop and cutting the two singers out, They have taken their time on it and done it very well but possibly smooth the edges and add a shadow effect to get rid of the 'fake' studio look.
