Rolling Stones Poster Analysis

This is one of the most complex posters of them all. It features that psychedelic feel that rock had in the 60's. The way that the log is waved reinforces this feel to me personally. The use of many different colours and support artists add to the complexity and madness of this poster. This is definitely an accurate portrayal of their gigs back in the 60s.  This is a brilliant poster but not one i think I can recreate for my ancillary task.

Jake Bugg Poster Analysis

This is the promotional poster for the Jake Bugg Los Angeles performance. It features a street shot of Jake Bugg and his guitar, displaying the origins of his music and his raw originality. The poster has a rough urban feel to it, this is explored through his music also. The logo is imprinted towards the bottom of the poster in the centre line. This is another simple poster which I am inspired by. 

The Libertines Single Poster

This is the poster for the well known single "Don't Look Back Into The Sun" by The Libertines. The poster obtains a rough and edgy feel which definitely portrays the sound of the band. This is implemented by the tor image at the trop of the poster and typography being put on a slant. This goes against common codes and conventions of typical music posters. This has given me an alternate view to my ancillary task possibilities. 

Oasis Final Tour Poster

This is the last tour poster Oasis released before their split. It is for the "Dig Out Your Soul" Tour. It features a space rock theme, which is bizarre compared to the bands origins of indie rock. The logo is imprinted on the top of the poster in the centre line. The boarder of the logo is similar to that surrounding the dates and locations of the tours. The support acts are above and outside these boarders. The whole poster gives a complex and intricate to feel. I really appreciate this poster but I do not think I will be able to recreate it for my ancillary task. 

AC/DC Poster Analysis

This poster depicts how important and effective a border can be to a poster. The boarder adds a wholeness and frame to the poster, without it, it would not be any where as near effective as catching the audiences eye. The simplicity of this poster is yet a huge inspiration for me. The poster features a Gibson Sg electric guitar in all black in the centre line of the poster. This guitar is specifically renown for Angus Young's (Lead Guitarist) use. The lightning symbols on the fretboard shows that the guitar is Angus Young's Signature SG guitar. It is identical to that of the lightning bolt in the the bands logo. It is said to be one of the greatest symbols of Rock and Roll this guitar. The bands logo is simply printed largely at the bottom of the poster. 

Catfish and the Bottlemen Poster

This poster features an alternate perspective of a live performance by placing the point of view behind the band, somewhere where the crowd can not usually see. The logo of the band is imprinted largely at the top of the poster, in the centre line. It seeks to promote the tour and shows of the band which appear to be sold out. It also features information about social media pages linked with the band as well as where to purchase tickets. Additionally the promotion for the band's debut album is imprinted at the bottom of the poster. I really appreciate the black and white synergy this poster has created for Catfish and the Bottlemen products  across the board. The simplicity is also a great feature in my opinion.

Pretty Vicious Poster

This is another example of simplicity which I personally really take to. This band is a small band from Wales slowly gaining recognition for their brilliant music. Its black and white basic design for fills its basic purpose of informing the audience who the band are and they're tour dates. This is proving to be effective as these tour dates are selling fast. This is definitely something I would like to replicate for my ancillary task.
