Promotional Poster

For my promotional poster I want to create an advertising poster for a magazine. I am going to be using ideas from Woofah magazine, as this is the sort of magazine I want to portray and promote my artist in.

Here is my promotional poster for my artist.

Magazine Promotion Analysis

This analysis of promotional magazine articles will help me decide on what sort of idea I shall be looking to include in the promoting poster for my chosen artist. I shall look at two different types of magazines, but still linking them both with the genre of Dubstep.

WOoFhA

Woofha is one of the number one and main dubstep magazines in the UK. The magazine itself is not based on the main genre of dubstep, it also promotes reggae, grime and many more of the same style of music. Woofha provides information to all dubstep listeners about new and upcoming bands and Djs with new song releases. It also shares tour dates within the UK at a number of different venues for dubstep artists.

The layout of Woofha magazine is very simple but very attractive and eye catching. With the absence of bright standing out colours and an incredible different variety of pictures.

As you can see the main image on the front cover of this edition of Woofah magazine is of an artist. The artists picture takes up almost the entire page of the front cover to illustrate importance in the magazine. This shows the reader that this edition has information based on this particular artist. Usually or typically there will be a double maybe even a triple page spread with articles, pictures and sometimes tour date and song release dates on it.

At the bottom of the front cover is a list of different DJ's and artists that are also within the magazine with articles written about them. The layout at the bottom of the page wih the different colours bolds out the different artists, this makes he names stand out and seperates the artists.

CD COVER

As part of the project we have to create a cover for a CD Digipack which is a CD package that includes the CD itself and additional memorabilia. Below is the net and layout diagram of what our CD Digipack should look like. This includes the size aswell.

Here is my CD cover below using the same net layout above as a diagram. The far right picture is the front of the CD cover and the far left being the back of the CD cover. The two centre images are inside the CD cover.

CD Cover Analysis

This album cover is a Single CD called Woo Boost, created by its artist Rusko. Dubstep CD covers commonly have the artist portrayed on the front of the cover. Rusko has made no acception on his album cover as shown. The simple demonstration of the artist name in bold expresses more attention to the artist. The small font of the song name shows the audience what song the single is.

The artist Rusko has used an image of himself for his album cover. The way in which his face is expressed and the way his eyes are blacked and his entire image shows that his image is everything to him.
