POSTER
Posters are most commonly used as a form of advertisement for a product, in this case an album or a single. A poster is generally just a sheet of paper with both textual and graphic elements, designed to be posted up on walls or on any other vertical surface to convey a message to people passing by. They are cheap and affordable to manufacture and so it is an easy and effective form of advertising an artist's album. The typical conventions of a poster include an image of the artist covering the majority of the poster, an image of the album cover itself, bright colours which represent the genre of the album or the single, the name of the artist or the band in a font that portrays the genre or artist, the name of the album usually in the same font as the name of the artist or band, the names of the most popular singles on the album, the release date of the album in eye catching font, the record labels logo and website, the artists or bands social network links e.g. Myspace, Twitter, Facebook fan page, etc and a place where you can buy the album. Some promo posters may contain other features, such as an age certificate or a parental advisory logo in the music on the album contains explicit language, reviews of the album and star ratings from magazines and newspapers and sometimes the price is printed on the poster.
