Poster for the artist (digipak)

Poster for the digipak

Below is a screenshot of my poster on photoshop including the layers. I decided to make the background of the poster made up of five different panoramic sceneries (desert, snowy forest, rainforest, city and a busy road), I did this to show that the artist is going to be worldwide. I added a galaxy image over the five pictures, then I changed the opacity to a lower level so the five images were coming through the galaxy image. I added a picture of a panda face as my artist is called 'Pandaman' and a picture of a panda is their star image. As this poster is an advertisement, I had to include many features such as, the release date, the image of the digipak, and also the record company. These features had to be included because it shows when the digipak will be out and what it will look like, so people can purchase it.

I used the stencil std for the 'Pandaman' font, I then wanted to make the font a little bit different, so I got the smudge tool and smudged the edges of all the letters, this made the font look fuzzy and almost fluffy. I added a iTunes logo, to show that the music album and the music video will be available on iTunes. I also thought it was useful to add a barcode to scan, as someone could scan the code and it would lead them to the music album online.

I added a quote from Kiss FM, as this is a well known radio station and they have given a good review, people would be more likely to buy it.

As this poster is for a house album, it would be best if this poster was seen in the 'MiXMAG' magazine, this is a magazine which writes about many different house artists, and seeing as my artist is a house artist, the poster would be best suited to go into this magazine. This is a British house magazine, however it can also be accessed on a smartphone. It was launched in 1982, the magazine covers dance events, and reviews music and club nights
