Poster Planning

I like the black and white effect on this poster and I think it will go well with my artist. I would probably only use one main imagine instead of two, which will take up the whole page with minimum writing to draw the audience into the image.

I like the close up of the artist in this one. I am thinking about using this type of shot in my poster because it would attract my target audience. I also like how the artist’s hair matches the colour of his name. This poster has a clear colour scheme of orange. I am hoping to have a clear colour scheme in mine.

I really like how this poster shows a clear colour scheme of pink by linking the writing to her hair colour. I will do the same in mine. I also like the mid shot as it shows off her facial expression, her hair, her outfit, and her jewelry which is good for her target audience. I believe the most powerful thing in this shot is the director’s gaze as it draws the audience in as it looks like she is looking at you.

I like how this poster has lots of different images on it showing each member of the band separately and them as a group. I also link the colour scheme of black, white and red this is a very bold colour scheme which brings the audience in. I also like how they have used close ups, mid shots, and long shots in this poster.

I have decided to do a mid-shot of my artist in black and white. My colour scheme will be blue, black, and white as these colours suit an Indie artist and my artist in particular. I will have the artist’s name “James Bay” integrating with him. For example having the “J” go over his hair. I won’t have a lot of writing on my poster as I want it to look simplistic, as I believe that James’s music is simple and relaxing. I will have him looking directly at the camera (director’s gaze) as that is the best way to attract his target audience (young females) as it looks like he is looking at them. I may have the background black and have him in white almost like a light is shining on his face showing he is coming out of the darkness.
