Updated / Final Album Poster

After looking at an existing, indie album poster, it influenced us to change ours to make it more conventional and relatable to our artist. 

The background image is the image from the album cover. When looking at Ben Howard's album poster and the exisiting digipaks, it bacame apparant that this is a trend, and makes sense as it maintains a theme throughout promoting this one album. It allows the audience to become familiar with the image, fonts and colourscheme.

Instead of previousley saying 'Out December 12th', I prefer the simplicity of the '12|12|12' as it gets the message across in a more powerful way, and as this specific day has the same number for the date,month and year, we wanted to play on this and make it look effective.  

In my AS media coursework, when making my music magazine, I used the rectangular blocks behind the text, to avoid the writing blending in to the background. Due to the background being quite busy, with trees and general scenery, I think that this is an effective way of making it stand out.

Another effective way we have changed our poster for the better, is that we have taken what Ben Howard did with his poster and had the font sizes of text get gradually smaller down the poster, as it chatches the attention of the audience with the artist first, then the album title and then the release date.
