Music posters

Tom McCrae

This is an example of a music band’s poster for promotion of their band these are a massed produced product that are either posted up in areas that have a high foot flow which give the poster the best chance of being noticed and informing the public about this group.

Also they show the unique style in which the music artist(s) present them selves to the public and show which genre they are in.

The colour scheme used in the poster reflects the genre that the band are in as it quite dark and mysterious and a unique image is dominating the poster. This reflects the alternative genre as it is a unique style of poster that doesn’t follow standard conventions.

Other uses for postersThis is an example of another use for posters as they can be used to advertise concerts that they are currently playing at.

This will help out both the band and the arena that will host the event as they will both gain renown from the public also it will benefit the other bands

The style also used in this poster is within the alternative genre as it has a quite dark and unique edge to it however it doesn’t give a negative image to the audience it makes it quite old fashioned and formal with the use of the black and gold colour scheme.
