Notes On Music Artist Poster

Lady Gaga - Born This Way - Music Poster

Initially what makes this poster stand out is the fact that there are only 3 colours used, the main ones being Black and White and the other one Red is only used slightly on Lady Gaga's lips. This draws attention to the poster as it is very monotone and basic, which can actually be more effective that something that has a lot going on. The poster uses the same font throughout and stands out a lot due to the contrasting of the colours of the background and the font. The artists name and the date of the album release are shown in a white font and the name of the album is shown with black lettering on a white background. This is done to draw more attention to the fact that the album is by Lady Gaga and the date it comes out, allowing the viewer to find out what the album is called after they have got this information. The image used is striking also as it is of the artist, and because its the album cover, not many people have seen it before meaning it will draw them too the advertisement. Due to the fact the artist looks a lot different from how she did on the cover of her last album, it makes the person viewing the advert want to listen to the album and see if her music has changed as much as her. 

Why? - I have analysed this artist poster as it will aid me in how I am going to make mine. This analysis will help me decide what I need to include on the poster buut also how big and what colour everything needs to be as certain things need more attention than other things, like the artists name and the release date are more important that a picture of the artist or the album name.
