The document analyzes and compares elements of Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, Rita Ora, and Flo Rida's album covers and promotional posters to identify conventions and intended meanings or messages. Key similarities and differences in poses, clothing, makeup, lighting, colors, and other visual elements between the covers and posters are described as possibly connecting the two pieces, conveying different aspects of the artists' identities, or targeting different audiences.

1. Ancillary Task - Posters

2. Although the poster looks
different to Taylor Swift's
album cover, her poster
background are pastel
colours. This could be a way
of Taylor connecting to her
audience by keeping the
colours the same as her
album cover. This creates a
natural link between the
poster and the album cover.
The colours of the
background could also
be an indication of
Taylor Swift
introducing the season
Summer. These
conventions are also
presented with the
sunglasses, light hair
and summer
clothes/colours.
The colours,
light blue and
purple are the
same colours as
the jumper she is
wearing in her
album cover.
This again could
be an indication
to relate to the
album cover.
A mid shot has been used this time
compared to a close up in her
album cover. However, she is still
concealing her identity. Her eyes
are covered with sunglasses. This
could be the arrogance of the idea
that her audience will already
know who she is.
The pose of her
lips as well as
the colour are
still the same as
her album
cover. This
again could be
hinting the
natural link
between the
poster and the
album cover.

3. In her poster, Demi's makeup has been removed
compared to her album cover where she has a full
face of makeup on. This could be a message to
her fans that she is stripping down to show her
real identity. Her face is turned and looking away
from the camera, coming across as very
emotional as it is a deep picture with a meaning
behind it. She may be wanting to show the real
her.
The metallic painting covering her
nudity is still included in this picture.
However, in her album cover she has her
hands wide open and spread out whereas
her hands are closed up in her poster.
Again this could suggest that she is
closed up and isn't as free as her fans
think she is.
The colour of the poster is very bleak with dark colours such as her features with Demi however
who is presented very pale with no colour. This could be an indication of the idea that she is going
through a deep dark whirl of emotions but she has a warm heart.

4. Rita Ora's hair is still curled, the same
as her album cover. This could be an
indication that she is still trying to
denote her 'teenaged image' to fit her
song e.g. teenagers looking
approachable when going out to
parties.
The colour of her font of the song name has been changed to two bright colours. This again could be
associated with the idea that she is reaching out to her younger target audience. As well as this, the
bright bold colours could be associated with the background image of a clear blue sky.
Rita Ora's red lipstick has been replaced
with a pale pink. This could be her way
of showing to her audience that she is a
woman despite her song being targeted
at a younger age of youths. It also makes
her look more sophisticated despite the
lack of clothing that she is wearing in
this poster.

5. The poster has Flo Rida's face in
compared to his album cover which
didn't. However, to show his audience
that this is the fit purpose for his album
cover his main accessory is his
sunglasses. This could denote the idea
that he is at a beach or somewhere
related to sunshine. Also the lighting on
his face where one side is brighter than
the other could also indicate him being
somewhere sunny.
Although he has managed to show himself
in his poster, he isn't facing the camera nor
are his eyes showing. This highlights his
arrogance through his popularity and the
prediction he's made by assuming his fans
will know who he is.
