After analysing numerous boy band posters the emphasis mainly lies on the quality of the image rather than the glamorous effects. For instance as shown above the Take That tour poster is a simple black and white image with a bland background. The font they use is also very simple however the stand out part of the poster is the font in gold. This visual technique connotes a sense of glamour as the rich gold colour contrasts with the rest of the image. I feel we can create a similar effect with our poster however I would make a couple of changes to my poster. Furthermore I would try to reduce the depth of field by using a low aperture and taking a close up image of the subject to try and blur out the background allowing the subject to stand out.
Furthermore I would use a high shutter speed to allow the image to be contrasting and with my skills that I have developed in Photoshop I could produce a brilliant image. Furthermore we are thinking of having a black and white filmed photograph therefore with the contrast the colours would really stand out. I am thinking of using a bold font that captures the attention of the viewer but I am not quite decided on the colour of the font.
Toward the bottom of the poster I will include all the tour venues and dates that the band will be performing at such as the O2 arena, due to there mainstream pop status. In addition as you can see for the Take That tour poster they have included the main sponsor of the event of the poster a theme that I can include in my work.



The album above is ''Hot Fuss'' by The Killers. I have placed a picture above because I want to do a similar effect with the font. I want to place ''JLT'' at the top and have the song name below the band name. Obviously I will use different style font to suit out genre more and I will also use different colours to suit the location.
The above single is JLS' first single release ''Beat Again''. The element that I like in this image is the use of the ''In Stores 14th July''. This is accurate information being given to potential customers to directly tell them when the album is available. Aswell as this writting I will also inclue reviews from other magazines, website for more information, and perhaps inclusive singles within the album.
I will most deffinitely be using Q magazine for my advertisement. The magazine is a mini-book packed full of album reviews, music-related movies, DVDS, download lists, key events in pop and up and coming bands (which we would be). Due to this detail of information inside the magazine, it is important to maintain the same characterisitcs of the magazine within the advertisement.
