Hip hop

This poster for Jay-Z UK tour does not have an image of the him, the artist , they have used from art the album cover. this help people recognize the artist and helps to promote the album. This will make people want to go to the concert. This poster is very different hip-hop genre poster because it show the artist so it doesn’t follow the typical conventions of the genre as well. Also the typography is very typical of the style of the poster, all of the typography and information about the concert is the same.

 

 

 

Pop

 

 

This poster is very typical of the pop music genre. The colours on the poster really reflect the genre, they are normally bright bold, "in your face" colours. The typography of the poster is very easy and clear to read, it is in pastel colours, also some of the typography is in the in the style of lipstick being written on a mirror, this shows us that the genre is pop. The main image is of Nicki Minaj, this is good for promoting the concert because, all of the fans will know and recognise her face, making more people wanting to come to the concert.

Rock

This poster has a dark theme/ colour scheme, this follows the conventions of the rock genre. They have used the cover art from their latest album to promote their concert. The gorillas tongue and lips, are the bands logo, everybody knows this and as soon as they see this they will instantly know  it as a rolling stones concert. The background is of the recognizable skyline of London, this tells everyone where the concert will be taking place. The typography is very typical of the rock genre, it looks like it has been done quickly with a paint bush, this follows the conventions of rock being quite wild or laid back.

 

 

Alterative

This posters style is very similar to the rock genre, with is colour scheme it is very dark. But you can definitely tell this isn't rock because of the typography looks very similar to indie or pop. It uses the boldness of the white on black to make there poster eye catching. The key information is very clear as it shows the date and venue in a very visible place. The poster is also the cover art they used for their album, this makes the audience or fans recognise which album most of the songs will be from and who is playing.
