1st Draft of Poster

This is the first draft of our music poster, yet again, similarly to the digipak, the theme does not link in with the music video. So that is definitely something that will needed to be changed so that it relates to both of our media products.

I used a number of different techniques to complete this music poster. First off, I used Microsoft Office PowerPoint to construct my music poster. This proved helpful as it allows you to use a background image, and it fits it to the page, wheras with other possible software that allows you to construct a poster, would have kept the background at it's original size, which wouldn't have worked.

I used text from my digipak such as the logo and the font: Palatino Linotype. I also included the front of our digipak, and put it at the bottom of the poster, which is something that is frequently found in my research of music posters. I also used WordArt so that all the text looked similar, and I also used the transform tool, and used "double wave 2", so that the text change into a wave. This is what I used for the text that appears in the ocean below. Furthermore, I used the same colour I used for the logo. To do this I had a look at the colour model and checked how much red, blue and green are used to get the same colour as an axolotl, using that I added the colour to the text.



Background image.

As for the background image, I used an original photo that I took while I was on holiday. It was taken on one of our many boat trips that we used to have during our holidays. It is of the British Coastline (see right), but has no link with the music video and digipak, therefore making it unresourceful. As for my final music poster, I shall change the background image so that it links in more, theme wise, with the music video and digipak.
