Ancillary 2: Advert Design Ideas

The design of my poster for the artists album I will feature the album cover, artists name, album title, magazine review, release date, website and institution logo. These features will enable a public audience to receive the correct information on the release of the album with an attractive design which will attract a bigger audience. 


These concepts are all typically found in adverts publicising the artist album; primary and contrasting colours are most popularly used to make the poster become more appealing to the public, an example of this is:


Using the template from above I designed some ideas that my album poster could take. The designs were influenced by the lyrics from the song I am filming for: 'Bruises' by Lewis Capaldi. Using images from online (all accept the bottom right which I ad taken from my own footage) I used the template shown above, to practise the layout I wanted for my Ancillary 2 digipak album poster design. I explored the connotations of the music and found images relevant to the themes 'lost', 'lonely' and 'mental health'. I used a variety of different fonts for both the title of the album and the name of the artist, though these posters are more focused around the music video itself rather than the album, I wanted to practise and with the features that make it onto a poster. The majority of these poster follow a colour scheme of black, grey, blue, purple and pinks. These pastel and contrasting colours express the emotion found within the song 'Bruises' and the representation behind my music video.
