1. The poster is A4 because we wanted it to be
similar to a billboard advert. By making sure
that it is the same size as billboard posters it
means that the designs would be accurate.
The images of ‘Tom Tripp’ the main artist’s
attire is casual this shows that he is a relaxed,
easy going artist. In the side images the main
artist is wearing a baseball cap this attire links
into the genre that the artist is apart of
(Rap/Hip-Hop).
The reason why I used two images in the
poster is because the main image at the front
shows he’s cheeky but happy however the two
side images could prove that although he
seems cheeky but he can also be serious
I placed the twitter and
facebook logo in the poster
because that is another
advertising strategy so that
he can get a wider audience
and gain more followers.
Most young people are on
either of those sites
2. In both posters where it says ‘out now’ that is
where I am placing the album cover
I was not entirely sure whether to make the back
grounds plain white or having the sky as the
background so I asked my teacher Ms Prince for
feedback and she suggested that I kept the clouds.
Personally I think by having the clouds as the
background it could symbolise ‘Dreamsville’ that
he’s in a fantasy still or it would represent that he
see’s a bright future for himself in his career.
The reason why I used bright colours is because
lyrically the artist ‘Tom Tripp’ does not rhyme about
what stereotypical Rap artist speak about, he’s
more fun and optimistic so the use of bright colours
illustrate that he’s different and has a unique
mentality .

The different coloured music notes represents his The different colours links in to what the
passion for music, by it being scattered it suggest that album name is (True colours) so I used two
music is his life and the use of different coloured notes bright looking colours and one dark colour
show that not all music are the same for example so that the poster did not look to over the
music not all rap music are the same, meaning that not top
all of them speak about the same stuff some of them Having used three colours for the t-shirt
are negative and some are positive display that the artist has three sides to him;
Thirdly the reason why I decided to make the music •Red-passion
notes in different colours is because firstly they link in •Blue- dreams/desire
with album name and secondly I tried the notes out in •Black- ambition and dedication
just one set of colour and to me it looked too plain and
wasn’t very appealing or advertising.
3. In this image I merged the
notes and the different
coloured teachers with a
white background
personally it looks nice
but it’s too much going
on that I think the
audience will lose focus
of the artist who is the
main attraction
4. Overall I will leave the decision up to my group to see which one they like the
most. The reason why we are creating a poster is because this is another
advertising technique to promote our artist.
I made the font a little bit big because I wanted people to see it with out actually
being next it for example drivers who are driving through the area also the poster
is colourful so that it stands out from other posters and eye capturing to an
unknown audience which will lead to Tom our artist gaining more publicity.
