Before making my own tour poster with the given genre of ‘Country and Western) I have gathered together fifteen examples of Country or Western tour posters. This will help me collect information on the conventions of tour posters of this genre, from this mood board of collected tour posters of my given genre I have identified the following repeated design features/ conventions:

• Model wearing/ holding objects typical to the genre and lifestyle of those of the genre e.g holding guitar, wearing cowboy hat, and checkered/plain shirts.
• Image of artist in black and white.
• Text in colours such as white,red,blue,yellow,black and brown.
• Wood backgrounds, scenic (country) background, plain background and animated background.

When it comes to the creation of my tour poster of Western/Country music I will be sure to include some of these conventions, I will only incorporate a few ideas as I want my own design to be unique which will make it stand out more to my target audience.

Here is my tour poster using the genre ‘Country and Western’, to achieve this I used Photoshop and In design, this helped me learn and develop my own skills for when moving on to my own music magazine.
