In terms of our poster, we adhered to most conventions. As you can see we used the same font as on the digipak in order to keep the continuity. We photoshoped four pictures of the band and put them together and used as a background the scrap yard. There is also an emphasis on the instruments, so we highlight their talent and musicianship, their togetherness as a band and their unique image - wearing suits. The lead singer is in the foreground in order to put an accent on him, being the "face" of the band and having the most intimate relationship with the audience.
We also put the name of the album in the same way as it is on the digipak. In order to create a synergy we stated that the soundtrack from the film "The Agent" is included in the CD, so more people might recognise and therefore buy the album, which is also promoted by the fact that you can see the instruments in the shot and therefore subconsciously the reader of the convention will be reminded of their talent. The album date is stated and it is said where it is available. The logo of the record company is clear to see as well and their website. We chose to include little logos of twitter and facebook to highlight that the fans can interact with each other and share opinions about the band. Therefore we recognise that we live in the online age and the importance of it. The QR code allows people to scan it and it sends them automatically to the web-site of the band, which again highlights the fact that the band is accessible and easy to contact and find, which makes it very convenient to simply scan the code on your i-phone for example and get more information in just a few minutes.
