Initial designs for Posters

Firstly, I have drawn three rough sketches for my poster designs. I have used influences such as other artist's posters, which have given me some ideas of what looks effective, eye-catching and what best advertises the band. I have also drawn three different designs: one which is logo/image which is affixed with the band, one which is a photo of one member, and advertises a live performance and the last which is a staged photo that shows the band on stage (like a screenshot from my music video).

This design is just of a shark with the band name curved across it. Since the band's name is Lime Shark I believe that a shark best represents them. A fully drawn and rendered grey and blue shark on a poster would catch someone's attention easily, and also could act as the band's chosen 'image' (a picture or font style that is associated only with that band, like ACDC's lightning bolt in their name or Meat Loaf's motorcycles riders in his album covers).

This design is a live performance advertisement, which shows a photo taken of one band member (for this I have used the lead singer/guitarist). I have yet to decide weather I should include his head, or just do a shot from the neck down so the center of the poster focuses on the guitar. Below the image is the band name and information such as date and location for the upcoming live performance. A poster like this would go around the concert/venue location, to advertise the fact that this band are coming soon.

This final design is like a fan poster of the band, but instead of having a photograph of just the members, I chose to have them on stage holding/playing their instruments. To create this poster I can simply use a screenshot from my music video and improve it on Photoshop.
