Tegan and Sara Poster

 

This poster is promoting the release of a new album from the act "Tegan and Sara" - I've chosen this poster because it shows two people on the poster, which is something I want to replicate. It is also minimalist in nature as there is very little spread out across the poster, with the central focus being on the two faces shown and the name of the album.

In terms of image, I like the two that are used. It introduces the band but could also, unknown to the viewers of the poster, it could be showing a couple that are disjointed from each other and are not engaging very well. In terms of music, it would make the audience want to listen to the music if they are in a state of mind where they desire to listen to music which compliments their mood of feeling distant from somebody.

I think this poster would appeal to the audience because it offers something different. Not only does it show the musicians, it puts them on a pedestal that makes the audience think about them more and their personal influence on the music. Hitting a personal note with the audience is something I'd like to do with my poster.

I like the colour scheme that is used as it creates a nice contrast between the pale white skin of the two female characters and the "&" symbol that is in white. There is also a nice correlation between the dark hair of the two female characters and the black text used. The red lips create a nice diversion of the audience's attention away from the rather plain colour scheme.

The text used is also rather minimalist and of a decorative nature. It provides an element of artistry to the poster as opposed to an image of just two characters looking away from each other. This sort of font is not dissimilar to the style of font I want to use.

Overall, I like this poster. It's bold, yet at the same time minimal and to the point.
