Futures Tour Poster Textual Analysis.

This is a tour poster advertising the Futures tour of 2011. We will not be doing a tour poster however, we may feature some tour dates in our digipack. I think that the band name being featured in large text right at the top is a good way of drawing attention to the poster and to the band themselves.

The picture underneath takes up a large proportion of the poster, the colours in the picture are quite basic and simple however, it still manages to look effective. The picture itself is a long shot this means that the whole band are in the picture, also it gives the effect that the band are on stage infront of the person who is reading the poster. The fact that the band have used a long shot instead of a close up is interesting because the band are reasonably new and a close up would have meant that their faces would be recognised by fans, we will take this into consideration when taking pictures for out digipack. The lights that feature in the top of the picture help to underline the bands name even more.

Below the picture are all the tour dates, these are all listed in a clear way so that they are easy to read. They are also written in white writing in order for them to stand out even more.

Then underneath the tour dates are websire addresses for the bands official website and their myspace. This promotes the band even further and it allowes people to find out more about the band and listen to their other music.
