Research of tour posters

This is a tour poster for Paramore, the band whose song we are using. They use a shot of the crowd for their picture at the top to show the atmosphere of one of their gigs. They do not have a picture of the band except for one of the main singer which is small and placed at the bottom. The poster uses dark colours of black and grey, it also uses their noticeable logo which is in orange and the only big colour on there to make their name stand out.

This is a poster by the band No Doubt who are a similar genre to Paramore. They have a picture of the band with their individual names above it and then the band's name at the top and in bold. They also have a long list of the tour dates and who is supporting them. The poster has used yellow and black and it is very bold and simple making the writing stand out and the picture of the band themselves is in black and white.

This is a tour poster for Lady Gaga who is a different genre to the previous two but it is good to look at posters for all types of genre to compare and contrast and get different ideas for my own. The name of the tour and her name are at the top of the poster and stand out in big font and bright white letters. She herself is at the forefront of the poster with extras in the background. The colour scheme of the outfits and setting is dark and uses blacks and greys and silvers, perhaps to emphasise the effect of the 'monster' part of the tour.
