The orange colour on this poster is very significant and could connote happiness, crea6vity, encouragement and s6mula6on and this contrasts to the dark themes found within songs on the album. The excessive use of this colour could also be reminiscent of Ed Sheeran’s look (his orange hair). This puts more importance on his personality rather than a huge ar6st and fits the He has been presented in an extreme close up and he is the only face you can see, which could suggest his importance and dominance as an ar6st. The typewriter typography suggests a simplis6c, old fashioned style which can reflect his style of music as well, which is of great contrast to the modern pop ar6st style. The poster also features the names of two of the singles from the album, which encourages the public into buying the full album to listen to all of the tracks if they like the two popular songs. However this is done in a very discreet manner, since the text for this is in the smallest font size. This emphasizes the more subtle promo6onal techniques of singer songwriters in comparison to bigger ar6sts, par6cularly those in the pop genre. This album poster features a street loca6on which gives a local, ordinary, everyday feel. The background is slightly blurred and the focus on the ar6st, which gives him that importance. He is wearing casual clothing which relates to the conven6ons of the singer/songwriter genre and is something that ar6sts in this genre would wear. There is a grainy effect used on the picture which could be reminiscent of an old style photograph and this could connote the old fashioned style of the ar6st which then could reflect their style of music. The poster features names of popular singles featured on the ar6sts full album and this encourages people to buy the album in full. Overall the poster is very minimal and simplis6c and this mirrors the singer songwriter style. This is also emphasised by the font as its very straighJorward and nothing fancy and furthermore by the ar6st very relaxed pose and the hints of blue throughout the poster which connote a sense of calmness. The yellow colours on the poster could connote happiness and s6mula6on (contrasts to the album as there are some depressing and dark themes within the songs). The ar6st is dressed very casually, in jeans and a jacket and this relates to the singer songwriter style of dress. The ar6st is leaning against a wall in a relaxed, hunched over stance which suggests laid back, chilled aLtude which could relate to the ar6sts style of music. The ar6st is holding his instrument which puts importance on how the guitar is a vital part of the genre and his life as a musician. He has a relaxed facial expression, not over posed, looking into the camera which could reflect his down to earth persona and this too is a common trait of the singer songwriter genre. This is also emphasised in the use of a very simple font, its nothing fancy and its not an immediate eye catcher. The ar6sts singer songwriter style is further mirrored by the very straighJorward informa6on on the album. There are no reviews and the poster just expresses the date of release and name of the album in a simplis6c manner which is of high contrast to the big promo6onal styles of ar6sts in the pop genre.

This  album  poster  features  a  street  loca6on  which  gives  a  local,  ordinary,  everyday  feel.  The  background  is  slightly  blurred  and  the  focus  on  the  ar6st,  which  gives  him  that  importance.    He  is  wearing  casual  clothing  which  relates  to  the  conven6ons  of  the  singer/songwriter  genre  and  is  something  that  ar6sts  in  this  genre  would  wear.    There  is  a  grainy  effect  used  on  the  picture  which  could  be  reminiscent  of  an  old  style  photograph  and  this  could  connote  the  old  fashioned  style  of  the  ar6st  which  then  could  reflect  their  style  of  music.    The  poster  features  names  of  popular  singles  featured  on  the  ar6sts  full  album  and  this  encourages  people  to  buy  the  album  in  full.    Overall  the  poster  is  very  minimal  and  simplis6c  and  this  mirrors  the  singer  songwriter  style.    This  is  also  emphasised  by  the  font  as  its  very  straighJorward  and  nothing  fancy  and  furthermore  by  the  ar6st  very  relaxed  pose  and  the  hints  of  blue  throughout  the  poster  which  connote  a  sense  of  calmness.    

The  yellow  colours  on  the  poster  could  connote  happiness  and  s6mula6on  (contrasts  to  the  album  as  there  are  some  depressing  and  dark  themes  within  the  songs).  The  ar6st  is  dressed  very  casually,  in  jeans  and  a  jacket  and  this  relates  to  the  singer  songwriter  style  of  dress.    The  ar6st  is  leaning  against  a  wall  in  a  relaxed,  hunched  over  stance  which  suggests  laid  back,  chilled  aLtude  which  could  relate  to  the  ar6sts  style  of  music.    The  ar6st  is  holding  his  instrument  which  puts  importance  on  how  the  guitar  is  a  vital  part  of  the  genre  and  his  life  as  a  musician.  He  has  a  relaxed  facial  expression,  not  over  posed,  looking  into  the  camera  which  could  reflect  his  down  to  earth  persona  and  this  too  is  a  common  trait  of  the  singer  songwriter  genre.    This  is  also  emphasised  in  the  use  of  a  very  simple  font,  its  nothing  fancy  and  its  not  an  immediate  eye  catcher.  The  ar6sts  singer  songwriter  style  is  further  mirrored  by  the  very  straighJorward  informa6on  on  the  album.  There  are  no  reviews  and  the  poster  just  expresses  the  date  of  release  and  name  of  the  album  in  a  simplis6c  manner  which  is  of  high  contrast  to  the  big  promo6onal  styles  of  ar6sts  in  the  pop  genre.
