Finished poster and audience feedback

This is my finished poster. A lot of work went in to creating this poster, especially when it came to editing the poster together as I had to put a filter on a photograph and then transfer it onto a separate file which had the gradient background. This took a lot of time as there were many white patches around the photograph of the model. Making my digipac before my poster meant that I had already got the wing design, so all I did was copy and paste this wing design onto my poster design. I chose to follow small rules when it came to designing my poster which was: using similar backgrounds and colours; include the wing and use the same font. These aspects would help the audience relate the digipac to the poster, without each piece of illustration looking too similar or even looking like I have simply copied one design to the next. I have also gained audience feedback for my poster to see what they think of my design and anything I should have done to improve my work.

Audience Feedback

Ben: I have already given feedback on the digipac you created before, and so I know that you want a link between the digipac and poster, but you don’t want them to look the same. You have clearly made this link and it is easy to see that the poster and digipac belongs to The Costigans. I also really like how you have included a magazines rating of the band and their song, making it look much more realistic.

Deb: The best thing about this poster is the large, detailed wing on the back of the model, it is very detailed and there are so many things in it. I also like the font you have used on the poster. The use of the wing, font, background and colour makes a clear link between the digipac and the poster, but by having the model in the design and a different composition, it is also interesting to look at and different. This looks very good as then the public would recognise an advert of The Costigans when they see it due to the features like the wings and the font.

Tim: I personally like the small details that are included on this poster such as the use of adding a 'remix' and also the review from a well known magazine especially with the wings instead of star ratings, making the band look much better. I also like how bold the writing and the drawings are, making them eye catching, like a poster should be.
