Production of A5 Poster

Here is my design please excuse the poor art skills but the positioning is accurate of how I want my poster to look. 

For my poster I wanted to base it on ones I had seen in magazines, such as TimeOut which is famous for advertising new, up-coming artists of all genres. Moroever, I have also used 'Q' and 'theguardian' to review my artists album as it markets to a wider based audience, although it has a specific genre it may intrigue people to have a listen.

I also wanted to mirror the outside cover of my album and add social networking icons, this is also relateably to our core audience of teenagers to young adults, so they can keep up to date with our artists work and events. In order to make my icons look professional I use a toll on photoshop allowing me to keep the curved outline of the icons.

          
Throgh recomposing the image it allowed me to highlight the parts of the icon I wanted to keep using a brush toll, and then the parts i didn't want to keep (the white outline) i highlighted with a red brish. This then converyted the image to be curved and professional looking on both my album and my poster.

Another requirement of my ancillary work was to keep the font the same as the Digipak which was Lao MN, to ensure all adverising products looked relatable. Moreover, the colour scheme also stayed the same as I used an image which provided the bokeh light background.
