Final Poster- and audience feedback.

Here is my finished poster/magazine advertisment. The purpose of it is to advertise the band at a current or upcoming live venue (for example the Engine Shed at Lincoln), meaning the poster can be placed in local newspapers and magazines; with details about the ticket prices and times, and also can be placed as a wall poster around Lincoln and the Engine Shed to simply advertise their upcoming performance.

It is a simple poster, and follows old rock conventions (such as the ACDC, Led Zeppelin and John Lennon liver performance posters below) of a photo taken during the show and used as an advertisment for further live venues. I have kept with the same font style as my digipac, so fans can associate the two together and the band will eventually become identified with this font, and it nicely fits the progressive rock theme of a distopian future or fractured society where leaders manipulate the people below them (which is the theme of the song).

I have tried to use the rule of thirds for this poster, with the attention drawn to the far right 1/3 of the poster where Tony is. The rest of the space (empty Looking space) has the bright green light, which I believe works effectivly and links back to that Prog rock feel.

Audience feedback

John:
I like how you have kept to the same font so then you can recognise this with your digipac. The lighting in the background is very effective and gives you sense that this is a photo taken straight from a live show.

Faye:

I get the feeling you've looked at other rock artists for inspiration, and have thought about what this poster is going to be used for such as advertising in and around a concert hall.

Mark:

Since there isn't much details about the ticket prices, admission or timings for the show I assume this poster will be one used at the venue itself, so people see it and then inquire within. It could also be a commemorative poster which you can buy soon after the show, to remember your time there.
