Pictures I Took For My Digipack and Poster

To get the photos for my poster and digipack I needed to take lots of different photos. I didn't have very much time to take photos with my artist (one day) so I had to make the most of my time. Shown bellow are the images that were taken, many of which won't be used in my final product. I had to go filter the shots and decide what images I felt were best for my products.

Poster Research- Ellie Goulding

Ellie Goulding- 'Lights' Poster



As Ellie Goulding is my chosen artist, I felt like I should look at her promotional posters to maybe gain some inspiration from them and use them on my poster. I really like the picture of the artist here and the way her eyes are closed and her hair looks. I think the neon font both makes the artist name and album name stand out and also reflects the title of the album. The release date of the album isn't on this poster, and I feel that it should be because then people know when they can buy it but I think the information at the bottom such as the record label and website of the artist is necessary so the audience can buy the album from the website. Simple colours are used in this poster which makes the album name and artist name stand out further.

Poster Research- P!nk

P!nk- 'Funhouse' Poster



To me, what really stands out in this poster is the name of the artist and the name of the album. This is because the red is eye-catching and you can see it from a distance. The album release date sort of blends into the background because the background colour is light beige and the release date is in white. This is because it is more important for the audience to remember the artist name and album name than it is to remember the release date. The picture of the artist gives emphasis to the name of the album because her facial expression and the picture makes her seem like she is having fun. It does also perceive her in a bit of a sexual way because she has a very short top on that shows lots of skin.
