Above is the final version of our poster designed to work as a magazine advertisement for the release of Amanda Rogers' 'new' album. Since we decided not to use the thread on the album cover, we thought it would be good to use it here to maintain the iconography seen in the music video for the albums lead single 'This Beauty', whilst also using a different image to the one seen on the front cover of the album that allows the viewer to get a visual representation of the artist. As it also uses the image seen within the album, further connections can be drawn once the album is purchased. We made the decision not to have any performance dates on the poster due to the nature of it being shown before the release date and tour, which with an independent artist such as Amanda, would follow the release of an album. Having critiques of the music is also one of the common conventions for an album advert pre-release, especially when the music is as diverse as what is seen on her album. There are a few things that I think are not exactly right but overall, I think it matches the themes and iconography seen in our music video and on the pre-existing album and represents Amanda and her music in a positive light.
