‘Hall of Fame’ALBUM POSTER TASK; RESEARCH

Poster

The artist for the music/album that the poster is promoting should be there for the viewer to see, so as to promote the artist and make them recognizable to the audience. This is particularly important for lesser known artists.

However, if the artist is already well known, they may choose not to display their face on the poster, and instead just use their/the bands name. This is only really effective if the artist is truly world famous.

Theme

There should be a recurring theme in the poster from the CD/Digipak of the same song/album so that the audience can associate this theme with the particular song/album, and so that it is evident which product the poster is promoting.

Both the album and poster have the same recurring image of the artist

Album

The poster should of course include the album which it is promoting. Including the name of the album will promote it to its audience, and so fulfilling the purpose of a music poster. Also, details of how and where it can be purchased may be shown, or reviews of the album by top brands to promote the quality of the content in the album.

Info

There also may be some information in small print regarding information on the band, the album and the CD/Digipak.
