The DTP work- Poster idea's and finished product.

Using the CD as a way to start the design, we established the dark colours theme, not wanting to use too many strong colours as a) It would look ridiculous and b) It wouldn't fit in with the same theme as we have trying to promote. Establishing such a style, we used black, white and red to stick to conventions and developed a black background with different coloured texts.

Thinking about certain Magazine's that would want to advertise the album, we ran through a list of suitable candidates,  finally choosing:

After picking the Magazine/Sites we imagined would give decent reviews for our album, we would edit on to the poster the social networking and advertising companies who are popular in the music industry, picking the three main companies:

We were going to use Myspace, but since it's popularity has dropped considerably over the years, we wondered if this would be the wisest mood, so we stuck to what we had originally planned.

Asking for feedback, it became apparent rather quickly that whilst the information of the poster was a good element, the poster itself looked very much as if it was made by students, and didn't have a very professional quality about it. So we set to work trying to create a much more stylized piece, and came up with this idea:

We wanted a particular style with this one, and it didn't exactly work as the headlight's were being rather awkward on photoshop, and would only allow us one, thus making the effect useless.

Other ideas that we toyed with our shown below, but for various reasons, like miss matched colours and contradicting styles, we decided to go no further than these inital ideas.
