Initial notes on music artist poster

I wrote a basic analysis on how an artist's advertisement looked, which would help me understand what makes it effective so I can apply my findings when it comes to designing my advertisement.

The band's name (You Me At Six) has been placed in the centre of the page to highlight their importance within the poster and it is in a large and black font with a white background so the contrast between the two colours make their name more eye catching among the poster. The text has been made to look like it is typed on a piece of ripped paper taped onto the poster, linking in with the messy, un-neat style of contemporary rock's generic conventions.
In similar sized font what the poster is about is seen at the top. It also contrasts with the bright background to bring it out more as it is necessary for informing the viewer of what is being advertised. It has been placed on the top of the page so the viewer reads the poster from top to bottom with the most important information first.
Underneath the artist name is further information about the event including locations, dates and times. This has been made in a smaller white font over a black background to it can be clearly seen.
The main background includes the artists in the band standing next to each other, with the lead singer slightly closer to the front to signify his higher importance. Behind them is the image seen on the cover of their most recent album at the time, 'Hold Me down'.
