Research into poster design

To prepare and start planning our poster for the band I’ve looked at some other bands recent posters to get some inspiration and see what you can do and what is needed to make the poster realistic. First of all we have to choose between having a promotional poster just with the album or to include some tour dates as well. As our band is focusing more on album sales I think the best idea would probably be to just promote the CD and the new songs that have been produced. So what we want to include I think is the band members and the release date of the album and not a lot of writing. You can see some examples below and what I mean is something similar to Nickelbacks promotion poster for their album dark horse. It is classy and clean but that I also would argue sometimes represents quality which is what we want our band to be representing. The decision of using the band members on the poster would be nice since this would help represent the community and the spirit of being together but we could also go with having a picture from the scrap yard to represent the community.
