Final Album Release Poster

This is the final design of for my album release poster.
I have kept the design relatively the same as my digi-pak, although changed some things slighty so as not to make the poster look too similar and boring when looked at next to my digipak.
The format I chose for my poster is an A4 advertisement in a magazine, so I used Photoshop to get the dimensions right. I copied a section of my original artwork and changed the opacity again, so that the colours were faded. Instead of using the whole of the artwork here, like I did in in my digipak, I cropped a section of my artwork, and made it fit the full size of my page. I felt this would look more effective than if I used the whole of my artwork, so that the poster differed slightly to the digipak.
I used the same fonts for all of my information that I have used throughout creating my digi-pak, and I once again used my 'Emilie Rose, Nothing Compares' logo that has ran throughout my texts. I think my final product is pretty close to the draft that I created, although I have changed the layout slightly due to things not fitting right on the page.
I wanted the image of my artist to be the most dominant feature on the page, along with the title, so that the audience would associate the image of the artist with the title. I also wanted to the image to be the focal point, as I had not yet used an image of my artist anywhere in my ancillary texts, so I wanted to introduce this. I think the effects that I have added to my photo via Photoshop have worked well, as it adds a softness to the image, and makes it fit in well with the background.
I kept up with the conventions of media posters, by including reviews and key information about my product. I included reviews from two main magazines, one music and one womens'. I included all the information needed to provide my audience with enough understanding of the artist. I also included a small version of my album cover in the right hand corner of my poster, so that the audience would know what the album looked like, so they know what to look out for when buying it in the shops. I also included record label and website information, in case the audience wanted to know any more about the artist.
All in all, I think considering my product is covered in text, it is not too much to read, and it is eye-catching in all the right ways.
