Ancillary Album Poster

This is my album poster for 'Wake Me Up When September Ends' advertising my Greenday album.

I have used a picture of Ollie both the lead singer of my band and the main  protagonist of my music video - he is the star image which is why I have featured his face on the poster. 

I have used a house colour scheme of red, white and black which is a scheme that I have used throughout my work so far, including in my music video. Sticking with this theme I have linked the colour red to the main album title and the 'out now' catchline to lead the audiences attention and it quickly identifies to the audience that the album is available now. This colour also associates itself with our music video in which the blood of 'Dan', our protagonists best friend is a key and vital feature of our video.

I have also put 'Greenday' in the largest font, as it is one of the first elements of the poster that grabs the audiences attention and because 'Greenday' is such a massive band, they would be more likely to read further and be more interested.

Included on my poster is:

• when the album is out
• ratings by big music magazine companies
• where you can buy the album
• the record label
• social media - twitter account
• website address
• parental advisory, explicit content label
