Poster

Over the past few weeks as well as editing our music video we have been producing our poster and our digipack. The poster was quite complicated to produce because at the moment we do not have the film from the car scenes to take images from, and our band Tweed are not a normal mainstream band so there are not many conventional ideas we can use. The image on the left was our first draft of the poster, the image which is quite powerful did not really represent Tweed and is more suited to an American soft rock boy band so we began again.


The image on the right is our second attempt at creating our poster, the image unlike the first is subtle but effective. The image was taken by filming the playback screen on a video camera, during the editing stage of our video we cropped the image while brainstorming for ideas for the poster.

The image on the left is our final poster. We wanted to keep things simple as a colourful modern design would not be suitable for Tweed. The background is an actual picture of our teachers tweed jacket which we cropped and repeated to give us the shape we needed. As you can see we used the name of our band literally to create our poster and the subtleties actually suits the song and the mood of the bands music. The text was taken from the copyright free website http://www.1001fonts.com/ which was sourced by Ryan. What I like about the poster is its simplicity, and we wanted to keep things simple when it came to the Digipack front cover too. We decided to keep the album plain because our song I Ran You Down limits you too a car shot or a band pose like our first draft of our poster. The whole idea of our video is that it is subjective there is no definite ending, so we decided that having a plain album cover would make it more interesting for the audience to pick up and wonder what the album is about. Just to avoid confusion the darker patch on the bottom left of out poster is the album cover.
