Research - Band Posters

This is the poster my band, Young Guns, used to advertise their first album release show. The choice of using black and white is reflective of the album cover for this album ('All Our Kings Are Dead'). The typography used to illustrate the bands name on the album itself has also been used on the poster. This has almost become a logo for them as the logo for band Deaf Havana has also been used. The image on the poster is of the band members all together, in which the lead singer is presented central as they are often represented as the main focus of the band. Information is overlaid in a transparent box which keeps to the colour scheme by using a dark grey. This also means that white text can be clearly seen on top of this. The poster has been laid out to show the main information central as the main focus and then a small text for less important information. The image and main text point are place in the central third and are clear enough for someone to read easily or to catch someones attention so that they want to read it. The dark colours associate with the genre of rock and the poster makes this evident that this is the sort of genre of music these bands are.
