Final Poster

Promotional Poster

These are my promotional posters for the band Two Mile Radius. The two images I used were from the original performance shots in the Duchess of Edinburogh pub in welling. The first poster I wanted to keep simple, I turned the image black and white and uped the contrast, mainly for the purpose of the poster standing out and making the band members look crisp and clear. I decided to use red lettering on this poster again so it would stand out on a bilboard if it were to be realesed. In the lower third of the image the Rough Trade Logo has been placed incase you wanted to find out more about the band.

The next promotional poster is my favorite one of the two. The reason being the center image of the band, I feel it really shows what the band are about, having fun. I decided to make the band the only thing in colour mainly for the purpose of making the band stick out, another this thats in colour is the red cups, sterotypically known for being the fun party cups you see in American Comedies and we feel these cups contain connotations of fun,youth and friendship. Much like the CD cover I have used the same colour scheme so the two work in context with eachother. Much like the first poster the Rough Trade logo is placed on the lower third so it doesn't dominate the image. The contrast has again been upped so the band and the cups stand out. Like our music video these posters aren't like I initally planned, this is mainly because of the changes we made to our music video in the middle of the filming process. However I feel these posters are better than anything I could of planned and I feel they still give off the same message.

Promotional Poster Analysis

This promotional poster for Mcfly's single party girl is an excellent example of how bands can promote their new single.Initially when you look at the top half of the poster it looks like a film poster and as you look at the bottom half of the poster we see the different versions of the single that are available.

The band themselves are placed towards the top of the poster the image itself is quite large which makes them stand out so audiences are drawn into the poster.

The bands Logo stands out; it looks as if it has been made out of wire and the effect this gives is a neon/night club effect and considering the single is called Party Girl this effect works very well. This is also seen under the pre sale information, the use of bright neon colours and fonts gives an impression of what this single is going to sound like.

Underneath the release date of the single there is a pre-order website; this is good for the hardcore fans who can't wait until the 6th of September to get the single and the other versions that are available to the consumer. 

The colour scheme of this poster is predominately Black, White and Pink. This element of the poster is interesting because there is no other colours to distract your eye and the fact that these colours are so high in contrast you can't help but take everything this poster is telling you in.
