Finished poster for media




This poster is for the single of alexisonfire, with clearly a completely unreal date. I approached making the poster with giving as little information off as possible, as i believe this a smart tactic of designing a poster.


Although i have used the same image from my digipack, i believe this poster works, it is aesthetically pelasing and also does not give any information away apart from the date of which to look out for. A lot of bands like to keep their fans enticed by giving off little information, but letting them know to expect things to come. By doing so the resonating effect is that more and more people will try to find out what is happening, and this keeps resonating until everyone is wondering what they are waiting for as the unknown is very appealing. I wanted to differentiate from using the large bold font that i used on the digipack as i did not wish for it too be completely identical. Instead i went for a font that i believe fits in with conventions of the fonts used by similar bands, and decided to go with this as it was different, but still relevant.


I have yet to upload shots of the construction process, i will upload these shortly.
