In this task we were given a brief to create a tour poster for an indie artist. To start this I created a collage of other indie tour posters to give me ideas for my own.

When researching Indie tour posters, I had to investigate the colour pallet, fonts, images and layout. All of these features will help me to create my own Indie tour poster. I discovered that the colour pallet was often pastel colours, the text was bold and either all capitals or all lowercase, they didn’t have an image of the artist but they had graphics that related to the artist. The artist name is either at the top or at the bottom of the poster and is the biggest text on the poster. Tour dates were on the bottom half of the poster and ticket info was right at the bottom.

For the creation of my tour poster I followed AIDA: Attention, Interest, Desire, Action.

I also had to keep in mind fonts, images, colour, layout and typography. These all needed to fit the conventional look for the genre

This task has helped me get to grips with Adobe Indesign better when laying out my own images, texts and ideas onto a page. This has been good practice for when I have to create my music magazine.
