This is another poster that we designed in relation to the brad sucks advertisment campaign. The poster will also be shown in a public area of the school on order to recieve feedback and positive and negative aspects of the poster, in which later we will be able to change the design according to our findings.


The major difference between between this and the prvious design is the asthetics (colours) of the design. In this design we decided to use colours in order to capture the audiences eye and draw them in. The colours that we used ,could also have been influenced by the original Brad sucks Album cover. This was a all blue CD cartoon cover. Istill remained with the same structure and positioning. I have also included the other features including song name and critic quotes, the dark blue and light blue contrast well.

Fonts



Fonts


1.Freestyle

2.Pepita MT

3.Arial

4.Highlight LET

5.Broadway BT

6.Forte

These fonts are possible ones that could be introduced into our digipak and poster. The Freestyle font i prefer because if it's smooth lettering and serif style design. Freestyle also looks more casual and at the same time readable, allowing for much smaller text.

Pepita MT is similar to freestyle, how pepita appears more sharper and lacks in the serifs, thirdly Arial is an average font , however it does feel too normal and lacks in character. The highlight font is a possible font that we could have used because overall it looks good, it's simple and it had style, however because it was white based, it didn't contrast well with the background colours. The next font on the list we chosen because of it's link to history, commonly represented as a 1920's Hollywood show font or Broadway, this added the character to the poster that we wanted.the last font on the list resembles that of a bold freestyle and the Pepita font. However in the end we decided to choose the freestyle font, arial, and Broadway. we did this because for smaller text the freestyle was much harder to read, therefore for list of song names we needed a font that was easy to read when in a small font, we decided to use the Arial font.
