Poster.

I have started to create my poster for my ancillary task. At the weekend i took some photos of our singer and this is the photo I have decided to use for my poster:

I feel it is a strong image because it relates back to the video with his outfit and the scenery behind him. Although i am subverting the conventions of a usual poster by not having him look at the camera, you can still see that it is him and you can still see his face. Once uploading my image I changed the offset on the image to bring out some of the colours a bit more and to make the whole thing stand out more. I also altered the brightness and contrast levels so that it was a bit darker but then really contrasted.

I then added the name of the band 'Imagine dragons' at the top in black writing in a font called 'AmazObitaemOstrovBold'. Although it gave the poster a slight video game look i think this font fits with my genre. Finding the right font was very tricky because i wanted it to look just right and to connote my genre of music.

I then had to decide where the rest of the writing would go. I decided the put the words 'Bleeding out' in the same font but in white instead so you could see it. I placed it just across his chest because it is below the band name and also just below the centre of the image so your eyes will naturally progress downwards and see the title. 

Again following the natural progression downwards i put the words 'Out: April 2015' across his arms in a different font from the band name and title. The font used is a lot simpler than the band name and therefore isn't as in your face as the others. 

Finally i put some of the songs included in the album. This was one of the only problems i came to whilst creating the poster because i originally wanted these words to be in the same design as 'Out: april 2015'. However nether way looked right so i decided to keep them as two different fonts.

Here is my first draft of my poster design:
