#111 Second Ancillary Task - Promotional Posters.

Our second ancillary task we decided could be a poster inside a magazine promoting the album or just one which you would find blown up outside on a billboard. Such examples are shown below: 

 Reason why I have posted multiple pictures is because I think given that we will be shooting our artist's album artwork using the simple white background look, we can use some shots that wouldn't have made the final cover as alternative covers/inlay pictures or even used in a Magazine with a quote (example shown on the left hand side). The text on the picture reads "I'm always thinking in terms of 2012, 2013, 2014....I see the future" I think this produces positive promotion for the artist as the reader would read the quote and identify where the artist is coming from and what they're feeling which can then be an inspiration for the reader.








On the other hand, this picture shows a large poster of Kanye's album which you would normally find in a music store such as HMV, BestBuy (America) and you can imagine this poster ending up as a memrobilia of worth because it upholds the rarity becuase of the less quantity produced. I think we can create something similar, in terms of using promotional text such as "Late Registeration featuring Diamonds From Sierra Leone and Gold Digger with Jamie Foxx" because this can be found (smaller size, ofcourse) in a Kanye featured magazine as fold up and can be found inside the magazine when bought.

However, our promotional poster can also be as simple as the picture on the bottom. As you can see, this is promoting the artist's single which is actually ideal for our project because we only have a single song produced so we can focus the Ancillary on just that. This poster fits in with Kanye's use of colour across in his album artworks, his fashion sense and his creativity on his videos. It's straight forward, colourful and catches the persons eye accordingly. The spotted dots font resembles the out of space/futuristic style which what Kanye's theme was at the time of recording the album. 

Considering Laura's extensive skills in Photoshop, I think we can create a various amount of promotional posters if it boils down to it. I think it's important to keep that intial theme running towards all material linking back to the album/single.
