Poster design

Here is the final design for my poster:






I have used features from boxing posters such as the bold lined heading and the details at the bottom of the page. This ties in with the thematic image of the picture which is a reference to the band name.
I blurred the edges of the image and used a grain effect to create the feeling of looking through a window at the image. I adjusted the brightness and contrast to make it vivd and really stand out against the background. This is an effective aspect of the poster as it would catch the eye of someone seeing it and make them much more likely to read it and take in the information.
The poster is quite simplistic in its design, only including the necessary information and not much more. I feel this creates a striking effect that wouldnt be achieved were it too cluttered and busy. It also makes it far easier to quickly read all the information about the album, which is an important aspect of a poster.
I also included an image of the front cover so that people would recognise the cover if they see it on a shop shelf.
I chose to produce the poster in A3 size as this would be big enough to be read from a distance.
