Poster Review

For our coursework we will also be creating a poster to promote our album, so we are using another poster to analyse and compare our product with.

The poster above is for Metallica's 2003 effort 'St. Anger'.
I'm a fan of the minimal design used on this poster, with it solely comprising of the band's logo, album artwork, title, date and tagline. There are no images of the band, which isn't necessarily needed here as Metallica are very well known and the logo is also easily identifiable.

However, this is in contrast to our own band Fall Line. While we plan on using a similar minimal style with just the logo, album title and release date, we are obviously unfamiliar so will be using a picture of the band as opposed to an album cover so it can stand out more and familiarise our target audience with the band and their style.
