Reviewing Ancillaries

Here are 3 posters I have found after vigorous research, one from a student of last years work. The other's two music posters promoting either an event or artist

This one is a product from last year, where we see both actors present with a beautiful shot, and everything (text and protagonist) are well structured in that they stand out. It is well spaced out, it is very clear to see and read. 
It is clear to see this is an indie poster in that there is a potential relation at present, signified by the love heart balloon, and that typically the 1975 produce indie songs.
I do quite like how the text works with the image, however the image can be misinterpreted as perhaps a horror film which is something I will need to look for when making mine. It is very brief and sharp and being for an indie song, is something I will refer to if necessary however there are clear flaws which I can avoid, unlike this one.

Here is a music poster for a SuperBowl game half time show, obviously a far bigger artist than the one I have chosen, but you can tell it fits well with the topic, in this case sports, signified by Katy holding a football. Once again the poster is formal and looks sharp with the bold text and colouring.
As you can see sponsoring is also present, something I will need to ensure I include.

Lana Del Reys advert is very brief, but smart, it she is the main figure of the image and the colours present compliment her very well. There is no info, which is not an issue but it stands out very well, and is noticeably indie, perhaps something I can look to do with mine. It is clear though this is something that will appeal more to female audience, something I want to as well, so will be important for me.


The importance of this post, is that I can evaluate other work/student projects and use them to influence my piece, and notice flaws or imperfections with others that I can focus on not to do. not only but they're all typically indie expect the SuperBowl one, but by using a set genre of music it allows to direct me for my indie song poster, as evaluating a pop poster or rock n roll, wouldn't be any benefit to me at all.
