Kid Cudi Tour Posters 2009

This poster is very bold and outstanding. I like the use of the yellow as a main base colour. As a strong, bold colour such as yellow has been used, this allows the picture of Kid Cudi's face become clearer to make out and makes his face stand out more against the yellow as the maker of this poster has decided to make his face dark using and black and white setting. This poster is made up of four different layers. The base layer of yellow, the text explaining when and where he is performing, the cartoon images and the final  and top layer is the large powerful image of Kid Cudi's face although this has been blended into the cartoon effect which appears they might be a part of the same image. I do really like the way this has been done, it suggests the blend of real life and the fantasy live that many of his songs are about.

This poster is a lot more real life and i feel could be seen as a lot more serious. The colour scheme is this poster is very dark and maybe not so outstanding as many posters. I like the way that the moon has been used in the poster, this is because his album title is the man on the moon and Kid Cudi is also known as the moon man.This poster has been made with five layers. The base layer is the image of the moon in the sky with the trees in the distance, the next layer would the highest on the smoke trials, the third layer would be the main image of Kid Cudi himself, the next layer is the rest of the smoke trials and than the final layer would be the text of Kid Cudi's name, where it is and who he is performing with him. This is my favorite poster of the two.
