Photo Shoot

Today we took our main singer (Hannah Stanton) to different locations so that we could shoot images for our album cover. We combined vibrant colours with different backdrops so that we could express the continuing theme of cheerful and abstract world which is the focus of the album and video.

Textual analysis - KT Tunstall poster

KT Tunstall's advertisment is simple effective due to having a black plain background with KT wearing all white and sliver with a large sliver sparkly guitar, this is effective as she stands out and grabs your attention. Many different fonts are used this makes the poster look for appealing. Her name is located in the top left hand corner, it stands out due to the large font used. The title of the song is placed at bottom of the page in bold writing which stands out. The glittery guitar resembles the pop genre, but the guitar itself resembles the india genre. PLAY.COM is advertised in the right hand corner this is showing where you can download or buy the song. The information about the song is placed at the centre top with bold line above and under it, this makes the information stand out more. For our own poster i would like to advertise the information in the same way as its effective.

Poster Contextual- Lily Allen

These two posters completely contrast against one another, the one above looks like it could be a design from the 60's whilst the poster below looks very modern. The one below has lots of bright and clashing colours which make it stand out and also draw people in. The bubble writing also helps to accentuate the words, Lily Allen looks cartoonised which reflects her quirky personality because she is very cartoon like herself. Her fashion sense is modern with a quirky twist, this is completely in contrast to the poster above where she is styled in a 60's theme. I like the way that both posters are kept quite simple with two or three main colours. My favourite is the the poster below, because it stands out and i would like to design are poster to be similar to this so it grabs people when they walk past it. I want to keep our poster modern whilst giving it a quirky twist just as Lily Allen has done here. I feel that the poster below best represents our genre of music we have chosen out of the two and we will try to incorporate this in our designs.
