Notes on music artist poster

This is a poster for the band, A Day To Remember. This poster is advertising an upcoming show the band will be playing at, promoted by the venue.                                                                                                    
Typography
The typography in this image firstly highlights the record company. This is at the top of the page, meaning it is significant information that should be considered, and ideally, read before the rest of the text. The font is large enough to be read, however not so large that it overpowers the band name, and the rest of the poster in general.
The band name 'A Day To Remember' is more centralized, as well as being large. This is so that it is showcased as the most important part of the poster, as the most central part is usually the most important. It's size is large, meaning also it is a fundamental part of the poster.

Images 
There are images used in this poster. Firstly, the most obvious image used is that of the band. This is to portray to the audience the people behind the music, and to effectively personify the music. Secondly, layered behind the text is a faded image of the cover to their album. This is to promote the album, and almost give a purpose for the poster in the first place.

Colours
The colours used in this media text are simple and bright, however have an overall layer of low saturation. This is to meet the convention of the metal genre of being grungy and dated. This is effective as it gives an idea into the genre of the band to the audience, leaving them with an insight into the possible genre to new audience members, without having to listen to their music.
