Researching promotional posters

For part of our final grade we will have to create a promotional poster for our artists album digipak, stating when it will be released, the album name, album cover and the artists name.

Ed Sheeran promotional poster

This poster features the whole album cover as the main poster image, but at the top it also features the artist name in the well known font that Ed uses for all of his promotional work. It also features his signature across part of the main image to add a special touch to the poster and to make it eye catching to an audience. At the bottom of the poster it states that it is his new album that is being advertised and that it is 'out now' to purchase. It then adds that the album includes one of his well known singles 'SING' which also reached number one in the charts. It also includes his personal website which features news, updates, music and merchandise that an audience can easily gain access to.

Little Mix promotional poster

 

This poster is being held up by one of the members of the group, but the poster is in Japanese which shows that the groups album is also being advertised and released in different countries other than the UK. It features their album cover as the main poster image, showing the album title and artist name. It states the date when the album will be released in Japan and that it is their second studio album that they are releasing. In the corner of the poster it also features the Little Mix logo which is seen on a lot of their official merchandise. 

Neon Jungle promotional poster

This promotional poster looks like it has come from the iTunes store home page, so the poster has been made into a banner that will show up when someone clicks onto the iTunes store. The middle image shows the groups album cover, and to the left the group name is shown. The writing below the group name states that the album is their debut album, and it states the album name 'Welcome to the Jungle' and that it is out now to purchase. To the right of the main image it says that the album will feature a newly released song 'Can't stop the love' and their previously released singles 'Louder, Braveheart, Trouble and Welcome to the Jungle' which will attract a larger audience if the said songs are ones that they like. It then has the iTunes logo at the bottom to show that the album is available to purchase on iTunes.
