Street Kingz Poster

I think that this poster is highly effective at getting its point across, the large text of AVAILABLE NOW highlights that the cd can be bought now and overall there is very little text which does not seen as confusing as some other cd posters. The only text on there is the necessary text, the one main picture is right in the middle of the poster which initially draws the attention of the readers so that they know exactly what the band is and the sort of music they produce is clear through the style of language and imagery.

The title at the top shows and informs the readers exactly what the name of the band is and that it is their 'new' album. The background of the brick way gives the impression of the 'streets' and the background of the artists and their influences in their music. I think that having the web address at the bottom is extremely useful as it allows the readers to contact them or find out more about the band itself.




Nocturnal Rage Poster

I think that this poster clearly highlights everything that the reader requires, it has a website address to allow the reader a link for more information about this particular band. It also highlights the well known songs of the band, which include 'way out' and 'get your hands out my pockets' i believe that this is a highly intelligent thing to add as these songs are clearly their well known tracks and so the readers are likely to be more interested in purchasing the album as they are familiar with certain tracks.

Again like the previous poster there is just one major picture, this captures the imagination of the readers, the painting on the womans body clearly relates to the groovy text stating 'way out your mind' which suggests to me that the band is very versatile and hip. The simplistic blue background also brings the attention to the woman, which is the key aspect of the poster.

Ruester poster

This poster is again extremely simplistic like the previous posters, the plain background diverts attention towards the text and the rooster. The text highlights all the required information like the date it is out and the name of the album, it uses a pun 'crowing now' in relation to the name of the band and the fact that it has a rooster on the front cover, this light hearted humour would appeal to the audience.

In many wasy this poster highlights that for a CD poster 'less is more' as there is not much text at all but the poster does not confuse the reader and everything required for the poster is present. The link at the bottom on the poster again like the previous posters I believe is really important as it allows the readers to find out more information on the band and the style of music they generally produce.




ESA poster

This poster uses a black background to highlight the young pale woman in white clothing, this is the key image of the poster which relates to the title of the album 'the sea and the silence'. The text is extremely basic and white which again is simplistic, all of the required information is there (date of release, band name and album name).

The only negative I believe there is about this particular poster is that the picture behind the text and the bottom is not clear and it looks a little lazy as it is not clearly apparent what what the image is or what it is doing in the poster.
