For our first poster, we decided to take direct influence from Oasis, who we take a lot of inspiration from in our song writing. In this poster, we took inspiration from Oasis's debut album 'Definitely Maybe' by trying to recreate the album cover and the way they are positioned in the image. We also chose the colours for the poster to be very contrasted and lazy as we feel that this represents who we are, with our very laid back, happy kind of sound.
We also took a lot of inspiration from the text art and the cursive style of text that they used. Here, we tried our best to replicate but added our own twist to it, with the addition of different coloured text.
I feel that this poster is very chilled and relaxed, much like Oasis's album cover and has a very acoustic looking quality to it.
Poster 2
Here is our second poster. For this design, we took direct inspiration from the 1998 video game "Grand Theft Auto". Our idea behind this, was to have a very nostalgic feeling around the poster, due to the use of the 90s style media. Here is the original cover art for "Grand Theft Auto":
We decided to use this, as it was very popular at the time that bands such as Oasis where at their peak and we feel that it really represents our sound because of this.
I feel that this poster is very nostalgic and stand out from the crowd due to the influences that we used, such as the colours and pictures
The poster that we have decided to use is Poster 1 as we feel that it best represents us, with its very laid back looking vibe.
