Music Poster
Rock
The conventions that would be on a rock poster would be the
same that would be on most rock poster. Artists often wear black or dark clothing, with a messy hairstyle. Tattoos
and piercings are often found among rock artists. Many rock artists can also be
found wearing make-up, mostly dark eyeliner. Artists will often be in bands,
which play instruments (Guitars, drums). They are often done in a hierarchical
order. The main singer always being at the front and drummer at the back. This
often resembles how they perform on stage. For videos and posters the lighting is
often quite dark to resemble the genre, or song they are singing.
Alternative
This tour poster
follows more usual conventions of a concert poster. The Script concert poster
looks very sophisticated, classy and professional due to the colour scheme of
blacks, whites and gold, which gives the band a higher-class image, therefore
is an indication of an alternative rock band. In this concert photo, the name
of the band is most predominating with lights in the background, brightening up
the photo overall, this looks like the image was taken at a live performance. I
love how the main band member, Danny donnohuge
is posed which looks natural. I like the way in which the band seem relaxed,
rather than posing for the camera. I love the whole composition of this poster
because unique and engaging. The information takes up half of the compositional
frame and gives the audience information on dates, times, ticket prices, ticket
websites etc. Although the details of the tour are small and at the bottom of
the poster, they are still clearly visible due to the contrast of the white
writing on the black box. The white writing against the black background works
well together. In addition the album is placed in the centre left hand side of
the composition.
pop
I like this
poster mainly because of the way in which it has been illustrated, rather than
following the typical conventions of a music poster. I like this because it
allows plenty of blank space throughout the poster, for information and details
that audiences want. This poster follows a strict colour scheme of only white,
black, pink and blue, which gives her a girly image, therefore gives us an indication
of a pop genre. This is effective because only the main sections are shaded in
these colours, therefore makes it eye-catching. I feel that the size of the
artists name is effective because it is the largest text and bold, making them
aware of whom the poster is advertising and promoting. There is a vast amount
of blank space, although I like this because I feel it is one of the reasons
why it is so eye catching. The information below is easy to read on top of a
white background, especially the black writing as it is most evident and simply
puts across the details to the audience effectively. I would love to re- create
a poster like this, mainly because it does not follow typical conventions of a
music poster, therefore making my character unique.
HipPop/ Rap
This hip-hop/rap
concert poster of SnoopDogg represents a typical hip-hop poster due to the
fierce colour scheme of only yellow, black and white. Although, I feel that the
size of the artists name is effective because it is the largest text and bold,
however the yellow name title at the top of the page is very eye-catching and
striking as the other posters I have looked at, this is because the yellow
writing blends in with the yellow hue and saturation of the image, therefore
took me sometime to figure out who this poster was advertising. Nevertheless,
this isn’t a busy composition which I admire as it allows the audience to focus
on the image and who it is promoting. His body language is brought across as
confident, yet slightly cocky with a bad boy attitude. I don’t like how he is
represented in a dominating and intimidating way, I aim to represent my artists
as relaxed in a cool and calm atmosphere. It would be easy to re-create due to
following stereotypical conventions, although I think this poster is quite
boring and will not suit my genre and character I am hoping to create.
