Research into other artist's posters

As well as a digipac, we also have to create a poster which advertises the band. Firstly, I have researched into other band's posters and album tour posters, to obtain a feel and style of what they do. One website which was very useful for me was http://www.panicposters.com/, a site which sells hundreds of different genres of music posters which you can browse and view.

This is a 30 Seconds To Mars poster, a very simple poster of just the band. They are of a similar music genre and appearance to Lime Shark.

A poster advertising the release date of the Artic Monkeys Brainstorm single. I am inspired and like the use of two different styles of font, and the simplicity of the entire design, including the dates and information included at the bottom.

A poster advertising an ACDC live tour, it consists of just a screenshot of one member and the band's famous recognisable logo. I have included this in my research becuase I think this is a possible design for my poster, since I can take a screenshot from my music video and turn it into something similar to this, using the band's font and emblem which I have already created on Photoshop.

I like the design of this Audioslave poster, displaying each band member's instruments such as the guitar, voice, bass and the drumsticks. The black and white colour keeps it very simple and the little fire inside the O adds to the overall effect of a rock poster.

This Pink Floyd poster of their album Dark Side of the Moon is ver plain and basic, however if you didn't recognise it then there is no information or text to help you know what it is for. Pink Floyd is the same genre (Prog Rock) as Lime Shark but they use a lot imagery and pictures to convey their meaning, so that is something that I could also use to display my band's song.
