This is our plan for our magazine poster, we want to have an over the shoulder shot of our artist looking at a load of houses as this shows society which will match the name of the album. We decided on this template as a group because we believed it captured the effect which we want for our poster. From researching different rap artists posters they do not usually have the artists face on the poster so we decided on an over the shoulder shot to show a small aspect of the artist on the poster so it is easy noticeable that it it our artist.
In the photos to the right you can see the different shots which I took of Jordan who is going to be playing our artist on different angles of a road which shows a lot of houses on it which fits with our magazine poster plan. We found this road just down the road from our college so we was able to take photographs of Jordan here. Through taking these photos we decided as a group that the best image that would capture the correct codes and conventions would be the bottom right image as we found this background was better than the photographs on top and we also found that Jordan looking at the camera made him look awkward and it would have drawn attention to this and it would create the correct effect which we was going for.
Through using the image we selected as a group, Kirsty made a magazine poster mock up like I previously did for the digipak. She created this over the use of Canva (https://www.canva.com/) and also made a questionnaire which would find out what audiences like about it and how we could change it to fit the features we wanted. We targeted this questionnaire at 20 people from our college to fill out as people within our college are within our target audience.
In the results from the questionnaire which was gathered we was able to find out the areas where we needed to improve on this. On the second question of "If you could change anything, what would it be?" our audience said to make it more exciting by adding more colour into it which would also make it more eye catching to the audiences and more people will notice it and may more attention to it. We are going to stick to three colours as this is a convention of the rap genre, the colours which we have decided to use are black, red and white this is because of question six "Do you like our font?" a lot of people said yes as it seemed masculine but a few people also said that they do not like the font as it was plain and boring to this is an area which we plan on changing and almost all people said that they liked the colours we had on the poster but they needed to be brighter which was black, red and white. Within the questionnaire our audience said that they liked the name of our album and the effect it gave and that it was open to interpretation so it can mean different things to different people to it can appeal to all different people which will widen our audience. On our final question "Does the poster look like something you would buy?" we had a lot of mixed answers as some of the people who answered the questionnaire said that it looked boring and not professional due to this we are going to put a different spin on our final magazine poster.
