Posters

After scouring through multiple posters which link towards bands of different alternative rock music me, Sean and Katie made the conclusion of how the poster should be set out. First of all due to influence such as Stereophonics we decided that it would be best to use the same image used within our album cover. This image will be exactly the same as the album cover however it will differ in terms of positioning in order to adhere to the fact that it is a poster rather than an album cover. The differences between the album cover and the poster include a set date of when the album will be released, this is taken from influence such as Oasis with  What's The Story Morning Glory in which the name of the band and the date of the album release is the only text shown. In our poster (pictured in the second final and final image) for Tweeda we in-cooperated this idea. Specifically in the final image we would have this poster as the ideal poster the band would choose to have since it is more simple and is not explicitly covered in reviews or anything that would have had an external view of the band. In order to keep up to date with modern technology we looked at posters such as Keep Calm and Carry On by Stereophonics which features a website dedicated to the band at the bottom of the poster we also decided to use this in order to conform to the iconography of alternative rock music.

In the end we have created two posters, the one shown in the final image would be the one which conforms mostly to the iconography of alternative rock music since it fits with all the iconography just listed. However if this were a real band then it would be highly likely that when the poster is featured in a magazine then either the magazine itself or the record label would choose to feature reviews from multiple magazines which delegate themselves to the genre such as NME or Kerrang!. The difference the reviewed poster has in contrast with the poster the band would idealistically choose would be that it not only features reviews from magazines.

it also features links to websites where more information can be found about the band. Namely, Facebook and Twitter are social networking sites which specifically target teenagers (our target audience) and featuring this in the poster for the album may help impact the sales since customers can buy the product and then search for more information regarding the band such as news updates on concerts, new albums or singles, etc. Moreover, information such as the fact that it feature the "no 1 hit All The Small Things" would appeal to a wider audience (which would be the record label's main aim) since customers will recognize the single and thereby will recognize the band.
