I researched into some existing posters to gather research and ideas for my own poster/magazine advert which I will be creating in the future. I found that the country genre as a whole uses a wide variety of designs and the only similarity is that the poster design is often based around the design of the album cover. Often the designs are extremely bright and focal which is done to attract the attention of their target audience, this is effective. They also feature the common conventions for adverts/posters which is the artist's logo/name, a picture (or two) of them, the album (or tour) name and a small picture of the album cover in the corner. Looking at this existing work has given me inspiration for my own ancillary texts, displaying the ideal style and design for the genre. I also discovered the conventional form of texts, i.e. the type of information that would appear on a poster and what is more likely to be eye catching, making a reader take interest in the artist. I think a still shot for the poster of the artist works effectively as well as placing the album artwork larger on a poster. I also think it's appropriate use the artist's signature colour scheme for that album, i.e. Taylor Swift's RED album emphasises the use of the colour red while the rest of the poster contains minimal colour (sepia or black and white), this shows recognition to the fans and audience.
