For this task I had to research my genre and find the conventional features and designs of folk tour poster and try and create my own. Here is the result of this task!
This is my analysis of conventional folk tour posters^
I have found that a very common style is hand drawn but also black and white (or a fairly old looking colour pallet) is also common. The posters are fairly to the point and don’t seem to involve excessive amounts of information. Through my research I have found that some things I should include where: Black and white colour scheme, Fairly brief writing ( not too much information), Big masthead and also to mention folk somewhere on the poster as actually not many of there posters I saw really suggest that they are folk based.
For my next task I had to create my own poster. I had to come up with a name for myself and also the tour. I had to think of places to use as tour destinations and also include other information on the poster.
This is the final product of my tour poster!^
I think that my poster came out pretty well overall and I think that it conveys the right ideas. I think the font is good and it looks tidy and clean and I think the colour scheme works really well. I used gradients in the text so that the text is more eye catching and I made the whole poster black and white so that it suits the conventional themes of folk magazines. I think the background, which is just a sunflower field, conveys the folk theme more. I think by having my cover star looking at the text it helps draw the consumers attention to the text more. I think my poster is interesting and appealing and I think that its unique and breaks conventions whilst also using common conventions.
I think my poster follows AIDA well and it does everything it needs to.
Overall I really like my colour scheme and pose but I think I could have maybe added a bit more folk influence in the overall design and feel and maybe add in colour on some of the image such as on the sunflowers or on the scarf but really I’m quite happy with how the poster came out.
