Ellie Goulding- Lights

 

this is the poster for Ellie Goulding's lastest album "Lights" the album is similar to her album cover images and the images throughout her booklet in the digi-pak so she keeps within the theme of her album. The image has the typical conventions of indie pop genre in having a natural and outside setting, keeping within these conventions. She keeps with a similar main image that she has included on her album, with the same lights, and style allowing the audience to recognise her with these particular images as they are so similar. The colours on the image are the same, the use of the warm colours of yellows and oranges to create this natural and vibrant picture for the audience. The main image takes up most of the picture and so blank spaces our left, bringing forward the image more as it is the image that the audience instantly see first, also the writing is both the same on the album cover and poster keeping with the recognisable typography for the audience to instantly associated with this particular artist., the writing is more illuminated then the background image bringing that forward and eye catching for the audience, the composition of the artist's name is central of the poster which makes it more bold and central point for the poster.

 

Florence and the Machine- Lungs


The Florence and Machine poster is quite striking and bold, the album is called "Lungs" and the artist has incorrupted the album name within the image of the poster and physically shows her lungs on top of her skin, which makes it stand out and unique as this isn't seen in albums regulrly, the symoblism of the word "Lungs" for album could imply to her singing and the work the lungs have to do to produce her voice and she is almost dedicated her album to her lungs for allowing her to have this singing voice.
The pose Florence is doing, makes her look innocent and pure, she is dressed in a green/white dress where she stands out against the blackness and dark greens of the setting behind her, also the pinks of the flowers behind her make her stand out more to the contrast of her hair and palness of the skin, i think this is a good a effect as the artist has thought of colours that would contrast with herself that would make her standout and more bold on the poster towards the audience.
The writing is simple and bold, the use of the white text against the black background make the writing stand out and unmissable and easy for the audience to read.

The typpgraphy of her artists name is symbolic for her name, and is easily recognisable for this particular artist as she has used the name text, style and colour in all her album so is iconic this artist. I think this is something we need to take into consideration and make her name the almost iconic image for the artist as it the main thing that audiences remember as the name and the way it looks and what it is.

With our poster we need to remember the conventions of a indie pop artist, and make sure the audience can identify the genre of music they belong to from just looking at the image, also we need to concentrate on the name and the way we present it to the audience as it is the main thing that people see on the page as well as the image which we need to make bold and striking to grab the audiences attention.
