Music artist poster

The majority of music posters/billboards I have seen over the summer have been in London. This is because this is where the most amount of people are and a lot of people are going to notice them as they walk past.

The fonts used on the posters I saw were very big, bold and colourful. They took up the majority of the posters just with the band/artists names, just to make sure that the public could see the name of the artist. The colours were very bright and colourful, in order for the artists name to stand out and catch the eyes of everyone walking past. Also the colours of the font and the colour of the background of the posters usually clashed, which made the font stand out even more and made more people see it.

The images used on the posters were often quite small compared to the font, and there was only ever one picture used on every poster, and still on some, no pictures were used as the font is the main thing that attracts the audience. The pictures that were used were often to the side or in the corner of the poster, allowing the artists name to be in the middle of the poster, which allowed audience to see the artists, as well as seeing the big writing around it.

The placement of the images and fonts etc. were almost exactly the same on every poster I saw, with the artists name(s) in the middle, other information such as dates of concerts were underneath or around the name in smaller writing, and the pictures were usually to the side of the name also or in the corners of the poster.

The words used in the posters was very basic, and not many words were used. This is done so the writing can be as big as possible in order for the passing public to see it easier and for it to stand out more.

This is an example of a music billboard which is similar to the ones I have described. The artists name is the main bit of information of the poster, therefore it is in very big, bold writing, and takes up the majority of the poster. A picture of Beyoncé is used, however it is not very big, like the name, and other smaller bits of information such as dates etc. are still on there, but in very small writing.
