Analyzing these ads helped the author understand typical features of music magazine advertisements, like font, text placement, and ratings, to inform planning their own ad.
This poster advertises Katy Perry's album. It uses bright pink colors and features a large image of Katy Perry in the garden setting from the album cover to target her core audience of "girly girls". It prominently displays the album name and release date, as well as the name of a hit single, to inform viewers about the album and attract their interest. The poster also includes Katy Perry's website to provide additional information and opportunities to purchase the album.
The document outlines common features found on successful tour posters. These include displaying the artist or band's name prominently to grab attention, listing tour dates and locations, including information on purchasing tickets, and centering a picture of the artist to identify them as the main feature. Several example tour posters are shown to illustrate these typical components.
This advertisement promotes the album "Hold Me Down" by the band You Me At Six. The layout follows conventions with the band name and album prominently displayed above abstract, colorful imagery relating to the band's genre. The band focuses more on their music than image. The design draws attention through unique artwork, record-style background, and contrasting typography between the band and album name to highlight them. Links are included for the band's website and where to purchase the album, as well as the record label logo to indicate quality. The consistent branding of the band's name makes it recognizable across materials.
The document discusses initial plans for a media project involving creating a music tour promotion. It includes mind maps outlining ideas for a tour advertisement video using footage from live concerts, designing merchandise items, and creating a concert vlog. The proposed final idea is to combine the tour advertisement and merchandise mind maps to promote an existing or fictional artist. Mood boards are presented analyzing color schemes and design changes for tour posters and merchandise between artist tours.
Magazine advertisements for music artists typically feature the artist prominently at the center of the ad to draw attention. Additional information like the album name, release date, and popular tracks are also included below the image to provide details. If an image of the artist is not used, iconic symbols associated with the artist are displayed instead along with bolder colors and effects to attract viewers attention without a recognizable face. The record label and publishing house are consistently shown somewhere on the ad as well.

Storm Thorgerson had a 6-stage process for designing album covers:
1. The brief involved listening to the music and discussing concepts with the band.
2. Rough designs were created exploring themes and ideas.
3. Prototypes were tested with the band's target audience for feedback.
4. A photo shoot was conducted to capture images for the cover.
5. The best images from the shoot were edited down for the final cover.
6. Additional details were added to produce the finished album artwork.
The document discusses the target audience for a music video, digipak, and advertisements. It identifies three types of people in the target audience: David (age 19), Annie (age 22), and Bret (age 27). David enjoys comedy rock bands and is studying filmmaking. Annie recently graduated in audio production and enjoys comedy albums. Bret recently moved to Oregon for a job and enjoys rock bands with a sense of humor. The target audience appreciates bands that use comedy and satire in their music and public image.
The document reports on survey responses from a target audience of 16-30 year old males about an opening title sequence for a new media product. Most respondents were male, between 16-18 years old, and enjoyed thrillers. The majority identified the genre as thriller. Respondents particularly liked the soundtrack, camera work, and eerie atmosphere, but noted issues with inconsistent sound levels and video quality that distracted from the narrative. The creator is pleased with capturing the intended target audience and genres, and now knows to improve sound and video quality in the future.
Vertigo Films and Revolver Entertainment are potential film distributors discussed in the document. Vertigo Films specializes in distributing smaller, independent films from the UK and has found box office success with low budget films. However, Revolver Entertainment's strategy of straight-to DVD or limited theatrical releases could cause a flop for a film without an existing audience like "Tarot". Ultimately, the document suggests self-distributing initially through local cinemas, film festivals, and online to build an audience before pursuing a larger distributor. However, this approach carries high financial risk if the film fails to gain traction and recoup its budget.
The document discusses the editing process of a film project titled 'Tarot'. It describes how various transitions, music, shots, sounds, and effects were used and edited. Specific techniques included fading music in and out to match the narrative, lowering sound volumes, adding text overlays, moving and overlaying shots, splitting and adjusting music, adding distortion effects to shots, and distorting audio to match. The goal was to create a dark and unsettling tone through these editing choices.
This document discusses how films are distributed after production. It explains that films are typically distributed through cinema releases, DVDs, and digital releases. It then provides details on different distribution methods like finding a distribution company to handle marketing and releasing the film in theaters, or self-distributing. The document also discusses how distribution budgets affect marketing through television ads, posters, and social media presence. Overall merchandising and star power in marketing are emphasized as important ways to promote new films.

Breaking Silos To Break Bank: Shattering The Divide Between Search And SocialNavah Hopkins
At Mozcon 2024 I shared this deck on bridging the divide between search and social. We began by acknowledging that search-first marketers are used to different rules of engagement than social marketers. We also looked at how both channels treat creative, audiences, bidding/budgeting, and AI. We finished by going through how they can win together including UTM audits, harvesting comments from both to inform creative, and allowing for non-login forums to be part of your marketing strategy.

From Hope to Despair: The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics
Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.

2. Examples
Main Image to catch
the viewers attention
The name of the
artist/band visible so
the viewer knows the
main artist on tour.
The name of the tour to be
able to identify the name
of the tour when buying
tickets
Dates of the tour so
the viewer knows
where and when
they are performing
Other bands/guest
performers to convince
the viewer to see the tour
if they also enjoy the
special guest artists.
3. Examples
Shows that
have sold out
will be on the
posters as to
make sure
those who
want to see
the band live
won’t try to
book for a
sold out show.
Image in the centre of
the poster to attract
the viewer and
because it is most
likely what the viewer
will look to first.
Artists name is visible
for the viewer to
know who is touring.
Both use a colour scheme
(Blue and Gold, Black and
Yellow) that they have
used in the past for albums
or promotional material to
make it easier for viewers
to identify the band.
Dates of tour are visible for
viewers to know where and
when artist is performing
4. My Poster
For my poster I wanted to give a
colour scheme that looked like a
propaganda poster (examples
above) and to connote with the
tour name ‘Propaganda Ganja’
The image is also the main part of
the poster as the view will be
drawn in by the image first which
also has connotations to other
examples shown which will have
the image as the largest thing the
viewer can see compared to the
rest of the poster.
5. My Poster
Text on my poster was also needed to
promote the band so like other
examples I made sure that the Name of
the Band ‘Espionage Sabotage’ and the
Tour name was the largest text the
viewer can see so they can identify who
is touring and the name of the tour if
they decide they want to buy tickets to
see the band.
Underneath I had added additional
information which many posters I had
found also used. Such as tour dates so
the viewer knows where and when the
band plan on performing (although I
should have included a name of a
stadium rather than just the city) and
reviews of the band and tour to
convince the viewer to buy tickets to see
the band perform.
