When creating the magazine advert, I wanted to convey the eccentric, wild aspects of the band, whilst keeping it simple so the audience can connote elements without being bombarded with images. Also, if the image only took up a small amount of space, there would be room for the details of tour dates, and the name of the album and band, which is vital information needed for the poster. The main purpose of the poster is to see the band and give information of the tour.
I thought it would be most effective to use a photo that had also been used in the digipack, therefore the audience could relate to what they have previously seen. In order not to be too repetitive though, I used a photo from the montage, therefore in the digipack it is only small. I was trying to create an image that the artist was eccentric, unique and unusual. I did this by using a photo of Ruby, the artist, being carried by Lukas, the other band member, on the trapezium, wearing a black feathery dress. I cropped the image from the photo of them on the trapezium, using Adobe PhotoShop. The artist also looks aesthetically pleasing, especially with her looking down as she appears modest. This is placed on the right hand side in order to create space for the information needed for the poster.
The name of the artist ‘Marie’ is placed on the left hand side in big writing, with a clear and attractive font so that it is easy to write.
Furthermore, the name of the album ‘le fruit defendu’ is placed underneath the artist’s name.
The tour dates are in the centre at the bottom of the poster. Aswell as the image, an audience immediate attention will be drawn to the tour dates, which is the most important information needed for the poster. The prices of tickets is also available on the poster, and the venues of where they will be held; all the information needed is shown on the poster, which is the purpose for it.
I used an effect on the photo that made it look slightly old and washed out. This consequently made it look like a circus advertisement, which is good for the concept of the band image that I was aiming for.
