Album Posters

1. Conventions of album posters:
 Star ratings
 Reviews on the album
 The release date
 Iconography and typography consistent with the album artwork
 Name of the artist and album name main focal point (enlarged font in comparison to the rest of the text)
 Name of the record label, media links such as amazon, a web address and social networking sites, and
the publishing house commonly tend to be positioned along the bottom of the poster.
 Tour dates and the location
 Usually only one main image on the poster that is a close up or mid shot of the artist, (unless the image
is of a band in which case a long shot is often used). Otherwise the imagery on the poster tends to be
abstract.
