Album poster

First draft

The main image on my album poster is of the protagonist. By her being on my poster the audience will be able to identify her as the main character but also, they may get an indication that the music video will follow an Alice In Wonderland concept. This concept should be noticeable by the costume my protagonist is wearing, as well as her being associated within a forest setting. Additionally, the reason I have distorted my main characters face is because I'm trying to present the idea of a twist to the classic fairytale, I want to show that not everything is as perfect as it's said to be.

The image I have used of the main character is different from the one found on my digipak in the sense that not her whole body is shown, however, her face is again distorted. I chose to put an image of a rabbit next to her because you will see a similar image of a rabbit within my digipak. By choosing to do this I have then interlinked my digipak and my poster.

For my typography, I have chosen a bold font for the artists name and it is placed on a blue paint stroke. The paint stroke is used several times on my poster and you'll also see it on my digipak. I edited the colour of one of the painstrokes to make it stand out from the other one. The reason for the artists name being bold is so it emphasises the purpose of the advert and it catches the audiences it. Beneath it I have briefly mentioned the song I will be using using. By that being in such thinner font, it contrasts largely by the bold font of the artists name and is eye-catching. I chose to include two quotes from magazines reviewing the album with a star rating.

At the bottom of the poster I added an extra feature of 'available on itunes' as it's a common feature found on album adverts.

Second draft

The main image of my poster is, again, of the protagonist. She is holding a sign that reads 'Tea Party', the reason behind this is because in my music video there is a clip of the two characters walking past the sign and the tea party in the original movie of Alice In Wonderland is one of the most well known scenes. I have used the same image from the front cover of my digipak because then it's clear to see the link between the poster and the digipak. 

For my typography, I have used a bold font for the artists name over several white paintstrokes as this makes it stand out from the rest of the poster. Beneath it is the writing 'Featuring Hole in my Heart' in swirly writing as it looks fantasy-like and I feel it fits with the theme and look that I want my poster to give. Towards the bottom of the poster are two blue painsttrokes and each one has a review on from newspapers/magazines. I chose to have reviews on my poster because it's a common feature found on adverts.

The last two features on my poster are the small print often seen on the back of digipaks and the record labels logo.
