Poster Drafts


This is my first poster draft for the artist Dubba Jonny. I decided to use Photoshop instead of InDesign for this task as i find it easier to and i have been using the program for a while. I am pleased about this first design due to the fact that i think it looks quite professional with the use of a specific downloaded font from dafont.com and the use of the HMV logo in the bottom right hand corner, which makes the poster seem like it would be good enough to appear in the shop window.


If i am completely honest i dislike my second design for the Dubba Jonny poster due to the fact that it appears to be very basic, and i looking back i do not think the font was a suitable choice. However the use of the picture of the band makes the audience recognise them and draws their attention to the poster. Also i like the way i put the blockbuster logo on the green hoody, although i should have masked around the white edges to make it appear as if it was actually on the hoody.

This is my third design for Dubba Jonny posters and i used the logo for the band as the background for the plain reason that logos are important in the music industry as they give appeal and recognition to specific bands, genres and songs. I also like how i spaced out the quotes from different dubstep artists, which is very common on posters as compliments from other artists help the band get noticed.


This is my fourth and final poster design featuring Dubba Jonny, but this time i decided to base it on a tour as opposed to sticking with one artist. These are popular promotional ways of getting a tour noticed as people who are interested in the genre can see where to purchase tickets and which acts will be performing. Also the use of the UKF logo in the centre of the poster is a nice design as they represent and promote the genre of dubstep in the United Kingdom.
