Poster Inspirations

Ariana's poster below is my most inspirational poster, as I admire the overall layout and visual appearance of the poster. What I really like and want to try and ustilise is how the album title 'My Everything' and Ariana Grande is split up by the singers waist. I believe this split makes the poster look really neat and elegant, which is the overall tone that I desire my poster to have and hold. 

However, I would also like to challenge this poster as I do not desire nor want my artists poster to have the albums other songs. I may however include some of Låpsley's well known songs, as from previous research, this grabs more attention and listeners for my artist.  

Although Nicki Minaj's 'The Pinkprint' is just an album cover, it is the only one that has really inspired me.
I love how the powder used has elements of disorder, yet still overall looks incredibly neat. For my album idea, I want to now also use powder in some form, as it adds uniqueness and diversity compared to all other album and poster covers. 
Purple and pink is also a very strong, popular and bold colour to use, which is a evident in all of my poster inspirations. Therefore, I am going to potentially utilise this colour in my own planning, album and poster.

Selena's 'Star Dance' album and posters are one of my personal favourites that I have come across in my research. Again, the artist has highlighted the use of the popular Black and White photo effect, (as seen below) it makes the artist appear bolder, most illuminated and ultimately more sexual. 

Within the poster above, Selena Gomez has continued her albums theme, as now the most important information is the artists name and release date of her album. In planning my own, I will remember to try and utilise this technique.
