1 - Firstly, I open a blank page on photoshop choosing the 40" by 60" paper. This is the size I will need for a standard poster.
2 - Then using a solid colour, I change the background to black as I feel that black has a more dramatic and eye catching effect on a poster than white does.
3 - I then import my chosen album cover draft, the background being black also helps the album cover image to fit better within the poster. By using my chosen album cover, it creates continuity between my ancillary texts and makes the product more easily recognisable to my audience.
4 - After this, I then add a star rating using the brush tool to conform with the conventions of other music posters. Along with this I add some quoted text as part of the star rating review to give my audience reassurance that what they are buying is trusted.
5 - At the bottom, I then add more text giving information on when the album is released and how to buy it.
