Music Posters Analysis

This is a poster of Drake for a tour that he has done. I like the simplicity of the poster in terms of how easy it is to tell that it is a poster for Drake and his tour, I also like the Font he has used because it blends in with the photo well. Another thing which could be helpful is the way in which he has successfully made the poster in just black and white, without it looking strange. The picture shot is a mid shot and suits the poster well, his pose is also good and suits his kind of music because lots of his music is about aspiring to be better than you are, and the way he is looking up portrays this. The lighting effect is also very effective even in black and white. However I do not like the fact that it does not attract the audiences attention, and if you were to see this poster in a subway you may not even look at it because it does not stand out at all, and just looks like a normal poster.

 Here is a poster promoting one of Kid Cudi's tours. The main reason this poster is effective is because it captures the audiences eye with the strange colouring, and if you were walking past it you would be drawn to look at it because of the weird colouring. The writing is also effective because it is informative and easy to read, and contrasts with the poster. This is effective again because when you look at the poster your eyes are drawn to the writing and you acknowledge what the writing is saying. I also think the poster is reasonably creative, admittedly it's not the most aesthetically pleasing poster but it does the job it's meant to in terms of attracting attention, and is not something that you would usually in everyday life. The colours are the most intriguing and green, red and black are not usually colours that you would see together.
