In the poster we wanted to reflect the album cover simplistic design as well as have the iconic logo we have created, to be the dominant theme. So to start off we looked at other existing magazine ads, ranging from heavy rock to pop, to alternative music. We began to look at magazine ads that were similar for what we were going for, something with a strong visual look, with heavy reference towards their own iconography, and have something that appeals to the more niche and indie crowd.
<Placeholder ACDC>
The ACDC may not be necessarily in our genre, but however I like the way it has been presented in a very simplistic way, in that the logo and the name of the album are the only things you can see, however it is important to note that ACDC are a massive band compared to the likes of Tweeda, whom is far more indie and low key.
<Placeholder sex pistol>
This advert is probably closer to our genre than ACDC, the Sex Pistols are known for their use of Newspaper tearouts, which shows their effective use of their iconography all over their posters. he advert effectively uses it's art style to almost 'shock' the audience and to catch their eye, with quotes like 'England can go to hell'. Obviously these are intended for the younger teenage audience, who want to be part of something more rebellious.
<Placeholder the Vines>
This one is probably one of my favourites, it capture simplicity with hand drawn art, showing that it is more about the art/icons rather than shoving ti in your face about reviews etc.
<Place Holder la Roux>
Although this is a double page, it's quite effective with having the artist filling the whole page and the next page just having reviews etc, although we were thinking of having just 1 page (I doubt a small indie label could afford 2 pages anyway).
