4. Basic Overview
What I gather from looking at the previous images music Posters
Include have these main conventions –
• Artists Name
• Album Title
• Artist
• Information of tour/release date
• Record labels logo
• Sponsors
• Web address
• Icon of album front cover, where to get it from
• A range of mise-en-scene
5. I like the use of layering in this image, and
how the artist is stood in front of the
Artist name. This could be done because
P!NK is recognised world wide therefore
just by seeing her face we know who it is.
I don’t like how there’s music information
on this poster, for example where I can
get tickets from or a website. I think it’s
slightly old fashioned as it doesn’t have
any digital media products on it, such as
download links etc.
I like the filter used over the image, and
how the lips have been done with bits
Smudged, connoting ideologies about the
album concept “The Truth About Love.”
6. I don’t like the imagery for this
poster. I believe it doesn’t connote
the ideology and stereotype we
hold to be a celebrity. The
Representation of Rihanna, seems
quite common and I don’t believe
there’s anything to idealise about
her. The imagery is quite simple.
However the text on the poster is
good, it has an icon of her album
cover and information on where the
shows are and how to get tickets as
well her labels logo.
7. I like Katy Perry’s release poster for
her single roar as it’s Postmodern.
It’s parodies of the Indiana Jones
posters which are Cartoons
/drawings. Pop is a great example
of Post Modern Media. (see blog
post on post modern) There’s also
an image of what we could suggest
is Indiana Jones in the background.
And the dark haired female could
be where Katy Perry got her idea
From. Also the font of “Roar” is
simple to the film title “Indian
Jones.”
8. I like the colour scheme of
Taylor Swift’s of different
shades of purple and white
and how it blends in with her
costume.
There’s also an album icon as
well as information on how
to get tickets and what the
poster is about. As well as a
web address. All of the
poster have different shots,
such as Rihanna’s is a close
up, however Swift’s is a mid
shot.
9. Beyonce poster focuses mainly on
the mise en scene. It’s sophisticated
which relates with the language of
“The Mrs. Carter Show” however the
clothing is revealing once again
relating back to Mulvey “Male Gaze.”
The Masquerade theme has sexy
ideologies and the mask could suggest
that she is hiding behind the idea of
being married however she’s a free spirit.
It gives little information however there’s
an url to her website on how to find out
more information, so the image draws
the viewer in, to then go find out more.
Because Beyonce is such a recognised artist
like P!NK if she was to have to an image of
herself and then her website, viewers
would probably still go search it, because of
Beyonce’s place in society.
10. These are all pop genre artists
however it poster is very different
which shows the pop is a very versatile
genre and all the artists differ to stand
out.
