Ancillary Task 2 Research

This poster overall has portrayed the upbeat nature of the song to create a fun and colourful music poster. This differs from other posters as it has used large objects that attract attention away from the artist and has used vibrant colours. From this poster we get the impression that the type of music will be quite girly and the target audience will be teenage girls ad this poster is ideal for attracting this target audience because of the bright colours. However, it must be noted that the bright colours may not attract everyone as some may think that the poster is too busy and unattractive.

This poster is much more simplistic and unique is this Arctic Monkeys one. The colour choice is very effective as the black and white takes away any complexity and makes the poster stand out to the audience. This poster seems to aim to provide the band with a sense of privacy, which therefore means you have to buy the record to understand more about the music and the band. I would maybe suggest that this poster is a little bit too simplistic and lacks creativity, as there isn't too much about this poster that would make a lot of people think about why they would buy this bands music (based on the poster).

This poster uses quite dull colours which creates a sense of mystery about the music on the record, which also creates the impression that the music is going to be deep and meaningful. However the writing on the poster clearly stands out which allows the reader to see the important information easily.  but the writing stands out so the reader can see it clearly. This poster is very clever in the way that they have advertised the most well known songs as well as putting the song son the poster that feature other artists as this will increase their target audience. For example, if someone is a big fan of one of the other artists on the track they would be more inclined to buy this record. I would suggest that the target audience for this record is teenage girls or young adult females, based on the fact that there is a girly font written in pink writing and the poster is solely focussed on the female singer.
