The above pictures, are the best group pictures i have of the band so i decided to use one of them for my magazine poster.
This was my first draft for the magazine insert. I concentrated on making the album release date clear, so consumers could see exactly when it was out and then go and purchase it. The album name is very large to show that it is important, and it's
what we are trying to sell. I stuck to the charcoal black/white theme like my digipak to show brand continuity. Once again the band name is the only thing in colour (apart from the itunes symbol) as a part of the band's style. This makes the name stand out, so that customers remember the band, not for our look but for our music. So like the rest of the digipak, the image of the band is not really important as we are part of the rock/indie/pop genre.
After receiving feedback from my teacher, I was told that the writing on the poster was unbalanced and that I also needed to add more information. Taking this into consideration, I arranged the title and release date under each other to balance the picture. I also added information at the bottom of the poster about the single 'So What' being available on itunes. As you can see, i feel that there was a huge improvement from my draft to my final poster. The whole image is clearer, the customer gets alot of information without it taking over the picture. The band is also advertised well and the whole concept is funky and different - much like our band.
My other teacher then told me she did not like the wording of "Album out on" so I changed it, making the picture below the FINAL magazine poster/insert.
