Fourth draft of poster



This is our fourth draft of our poster. After receiving feedback we decided to change the picture in order to create a direct address with our audience. We felt this was effective as it looked hypnotic, enticing the audience to go to see Ellie Goulding on tour. We also added the lines on top and under the 'Ellie Goulding' to follow our house style from our album cover. As well as this, we darkened the colours on the gradient, as we felt this made the image of her more vivid. We added the website in order to make the poster look professional, filling up the empty space as seen on our previous draft.

Research into fonts for music video / font vote


For our music video an important feature for us to consider is the presentation. We have decided to include text at the beginning to introduce the artist and the song title, in addition to a simple text stating 'THE END' when the music video has finished. It is essential to use an ideal font to suit the genre and general theme of the song and music video. In this post we shall be doing further research into choosing the correct font, whether it should be serif or sans serif and which one of OUR collection is the most popular.

One of our initial favourites in regards to inspiration is the font used in Telephone - Lady GaGa. We felt that it was contemporary and eye-catching, which is vital since we are trying to materialise our video to be as professional as possible. (the fonts can be found from 0:05 to 0:24)

Third draft of poster



This is our third draft of our poster which clearly depicts a dramatic change from our second draft. From hearing our critiques, we decided to seek inspiration from other artists posters. One which caught our eye was Miley Cyrus' Bangerz tour poster. We liked the idea of the gradient, as we felt it fitted our genre and made it stand out more than our previous black background. We also got feedback from our teacher for this draft, to which he said that there needed to be more space towards the top as the name seemed too cramped as well as the space at the bottom, which should be cut off. He said he liked the general house style, however he did critique our image and suggested that we should choose another that had direct address as he felt this one looked too religious and doesn't have a powerful connection with the audience.
