Poster Development

Along with our digipak, we are creating an advertisement poster for the new album. As we had decided on the theme of an old school journal for our digipak, it seemed like a good idea to carry on this theme into our advertisement. We started off by creating a crumpled paper background:

Then we added doodles to make it look like a typical teenagers notebook. We set the layers to multiply and altered the transparency to make it look like they had been drawn onto the paper:

After this we added our band name, 'Killer Queen' and our album title 'Speak of the Devil' to the poster. We found that the black type didn't stand out very well against the background and so added comic book-like speech bubbles around them and outlined them in bright colours.

After this, we added an image of our digipak's front cover and the date that it was released,again putting the type on a more colourful background to make it stand out.

As everything else on our poster looked like it had been drawn on to a piece of paper except for the album cover, we thought that it felt slightly out of place. To fix this, we decided to make it look like it had been taped onto the paper.
