Above is a mood-board I created which includes many different Country and Western tour posters. It is really important to research past examples of tour posters so that you know what to incorporate into your tour poster and it gives you an idea of what kind of stuff you may want to include in yours too.

After reviewing the posters it is quite clear that there a specific font used in many Country and Western posters. People also like to use lots of brown colours and landscapes. I believe that this is to show that Country and Western is quite a mysterious genre and they are trying to show a bit of the places that they are from and what inspires their music. I have also noticed that lots of the tour posters made for female Country stars uses quite bright colours and lots of pink. I think that this is used to show the classic All American girl that is so often idolised in Country and Western music. These are things that I will definitely consider when making my Tour Poster.

This was the tour poster that I created for the Country and Western genre. I tried to use typical conventions such as a big bold title, Country and Western fonts, tour dates, where you can access tickets and I used a brown background. However I think I could have used more conventions for example I think I could have used a tag line under my title, more text, a link to the website and possibly more colour. My poster stands out because the headline is bold and the models outfit is pretty and bold however I think it is quite simple and could get lost amongst other posters. All in all, I’m happy with how it turned out because you can definitely see that it is in the theme of Country and Western but it could definitely be tidier and it could have more typical tour poster conventions.
