Music Production Poster Example

This poster is an example of a music production poster for a gig. The band whose gig it is advertising is Kodaline, an indie-alternative rock band from Ireland.

This poster was made to promote a gig that they were doing in the area. It includes all of the relevant information that a potential attendee would need. For example, the date, time and place are all placed where they can be seen clearly. The colours contrast each other as parts are black and others are a goldy colour, making the lettering stand out as much as possible.

Kodaline is a band that is aimed at teens and young adults, this is because they are often featured on such radio stations like Radio 1 and TV channels like BBC 3 and the MTV channel, MTV Rocks. These are all aimed at this demographic too. Their main audience is between the ages of 16-30 and would be fans of indie music.
The graphology that is used for the band's name, is their actual logo, this means that their fans will already know who they are and new potential attendees who do not know their music, will be able to recognise them from now on from their logo.
The image used on this poster appeals to the audience as it isn't of the actual band itself, but it is quite abstract. This is a general trend in indie music posters and albums etc.. Because the image is so abstract, it will make the audience think and wonder what is going on in this image.

Because the imagery and artistic direction of this poster are quite unique, it means that the poster is aimed at a more niche audience, and mainly for the people that already know the band so that they know what to expect.
This is a good example of a poster for a gig as it looks interesting, it stands out, has an interesting image and features all of the main things that a gig poster should have. For the print based media task, I would like to create a poster for a gig and this has given me some ideas as to what I can do with it.
