Audience feeback on Mock Poster

Here is some audience feedback I have gathered from my mock poster from another A2 media student. I will make some changes with these points in mind to obtain my final promotional poster.

Do a flat plan of your advert, work out the layout you want

Here is my first flat plan for my promotional poster:


Investigate how important the print advert is the promotion of the artist/music.

The Print advert is very important in the promotion in an artist music. It brings its target audience in and appeals to them. It does this by its use of:

  • Font
  • Colour 
  • Images that the audience can relate to 
  • Contrast
Here is a good example of a good promotional poster. The poster is for an album by a band called 
Blink 182. It clearly shows the band name, and eye
catching image, colour contrast, the price pf the album and where the consumer can buy it. One of the biggest reasons why a promotional advertisement is so important is because it gets the consumer to go buy the product. 

Research the conventions of CD advertising. Look at music advertising from the genre your music video is and come up with a list of conventions that you need to get right.

The conventions of CD advertising in my chosen genre are very simple. In a lot of pop punk albums you wont see anything fancy or highly technical on the promotional images. Here is just one example of an advertisement for one band's album. However just because the conventions of CD advertisement in my chosen genre are simple doesn't mean they are not effective. I still need to focus on achieving a convincing promotional poster that fits into my chosen genre well. There is a list of conventions I will take from this promotional advertisement for a band called Real Friends for my final poster.







  • Clear Band Name
  • Clear Album Name
  • Easy To Look At
  • Contrasting Colour Scheme 
  • Relating Image to Album Name/ Key Song
