Ancillary Task 2...

Tour Poster:
- to design and create a tour poster as part of your ancillary tasks, taking into consideration the common codes and conventions of existing products.

 
This design shall:
  • display information about Melissa's upcoming tour. 
  • use the consistent house style formed by the group as a whole.
  • incorporate Gothic conventions.
Below is an example I have found, I really like this design and it has inspired much of the draftwork for my own:

This example uses more than one dominant image of Taylor Swift, it also uses an album cover. It incorporates a special music guest whilst displaying all the necessary information.
These are several other existing tour posters I found:
(I took a code & convention that I would like to incorporate in my own design from each.)

Just like this poster, I would like to use the convention of a large key image placed in the centre.
 
This is my least favourite of all the posters I found. I feel that it is too 'busy'. I don't think the choice to use several images of the same girl is the best as the outfits are the same and it gets quite confusing. For my own design I am going to stick with just one dominant image.


I love this colour scheme! But it does not fit with my group's chosen one. I hope to incorporate the convention of advertising the supporting act.

This is my favourite of all the designs as I think the large image tells the audience exactly who it is that they are going to see and the placing of the text tells you exactly where you go to see them. It effectively conveys its message and fulfills its purpose.

Each of these have given me great inspiration to construct some of my own designs!
