My Tour Poster
In the slideshow shown, we were set on a task to research tour posters/album covers based on our genre of music selected. My music genre selected is Country and Western. The research will allow us to produce a conventional tour poster, therefore this task has given us an idea as to what things we must consider when producing our own tour poster.
Upon doing research on the genre of Country and Western music i discovered the following:
- In nearly all of the tour posters, there is always a main cover star featured in a place on the poster.
- All of the main cover stars are looking very relaxed.
- Typically the older posters have more blocky styled fonts
- The colour palette is very wide, there isn’t a set of colours

The image above is my reflection on my Tour Poster, overall the tour poster was a good experience to help learn how to use INDESIGN and Photoshop.
My Strengths:
- Being able to edit my main cover star confidently
- Production of layering my image onto the background chosen
- During the modeling process, I was calm and collected just like the other models of tour posters
- I was able to find a font that fit the genre and theme of country and western.
Areas for improvement:
- Ensure the mise-en scene fits with the genre of music
- Make sure I know the type of message portrayed before producing my tour poster
- Think about where the main focus will be for the main cover star, (E.g The eyes)
- Think about the type of colours that are typical of the genre selected.
- Plan my photoshoot out better before taking any photographs
