For my final advert poster design, I decided to make two copy’s, as after looking at similar product research, I discovered that this was something that quite a lot of bands did to promote their song, and in particular was conventional for my specific genre.
My first poster is a development from my second draft poster. It uses a full bleed image that is the same as on my Digipak, as not only is this a conventional feature, but it also highlights a link between the two ancillary texts. It includes the name of the album and a few reviews, as well as conventional a company logo and a date of release. This copy appears fairly conventional, and is likely to be seen in indie magazines, as this genre has a strong focus on having an icon that represents the band, and the full bleed image helps to emphasise this.
My second poster was developed after I sought inspiration from the internet, with a majority of posters using a smaller image to allow more space for extra writing. I included quite a dark deep purple colour, as not only is this colour conventional for my genre, but I also felt it went well with my image and font choices. A border was included purely for aesthetic purposes, and this works well with the black writing featured on the bottom of the page. I included several reviews from well known sources, and also the band name and album name. Similarly to my other design, the date is included on the image, as it allows the reader to draw an instant link between the date and the album release. This album is likely to be featured in perhaps a non-music magazine or a newspaper, as it adopts a much less specific method of selling the magazine, and helps to give the reader much more detail about the album, such as including track lists, something that a fan of the genre itself that reads indie magazines may not require.
