Poster Design- reflection





Above you can see the poster/magazine advert we devised. i think the poster is very successfull as i believe the poster will be recognised amongst 'Freddy and the let downs' fans as this is the sam picture used for the front cover of the album artwork. Therefore not only advertising the the single but creating recongnisable imagery of the band. which we have senn before with such albums as 'The clash- Londons calling'


refering back to our album artwork it is also very succesful in letting the audience know when this new artist/single is going to be out (1/4/2012) this being the only other writing in bold and being placed right below the 'star' it becomes a main focus of the poster with out taking the focus away from Freddy (seen standing up) therefore marketing the dates of relaease. Another succesfull convention of the poster is the use of the whole frame as you can see there is not empty space, even to the side of freddy there is writing selling the single and band to the audience. making the advert/poster really successful in marketing the star/band/single.

However the only crtiscism of the poster i have it that magazines are portray whilst the advert is landscape. therefore there may be a need for whole different advert for a magzine. As the wording and positioning of the band will be out of place.
