Kirsty Maccoll Music Video:

Kirsty McColl Poster;

The poster above is to help promote Kirsty McColl's new album "Tropical Brainstorm". Our idea for this poster reflected the song we were given to create a music video from called "These Shoes"

• The vignette style photograph was edited this way so the poster focuses on the artist and shoes. The vignette border almost acts as a fisheye lense which are really popular among photographers the time this poster was produced.
• The shoes used in the poster range from pumps to trainers, from trainers to brogues. Potentially this suggest the music she produces is a reflection of who is her target audience.
• The girl featured in the poster is styling a very casual look of leggings, converse and a coat. In reality we would have to ask permission to use branded products such as converse due to their copyright.
• The girl is also looking away from the camera to give the poster a natural feel. She is also smile giving a positive attitude and endearing smile which suggests what her music is about.
• The difference between the shoes distances makes the poster look realistic and gives the poster the almost 3D effect.
• The typography used in the poster is simple, yet effective with the style being well rounded and feminine- parallel to the female artist and the direction of the music.
• The selection of shoes support many stereotypical figure from the song such as "I once met a man with a sense of adventure" supports the mens shoes used in the poster (white trainers)
• The women gazing away from the poster is the foundation created from the lyrics, "In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes"
• "Lets make love on a mountain top" is supported by the trainers which could be used to climb.
• Using opposite colour in typography such as black writing against a white background etc helps the titles more eye catching towards the audience.
• Simplistic typography means everyone can understand the writing.
