Drama Ms. Thompson Music Poster Project

Music Poster Project

It’s time to get your hands dirty in the world of publicity.  Choose a song and an Artist you love (make sure the lyrics are appropriate for class).  Using the song and artist you’ve selected, you must create a marketing advertisement for Rolling Stone Magazine. This short ad must give a teaser for your artist that will make people want to download their song and attend their concerts. You’ll also want to include some details that are specific to your particular song/artist. This may include anecdotes, quotes from the song, and names of people in the band. It should appeal to High School students, and more specifically students that wouldn’t normally be inside of your demographic. These are not people that would normally attend your shows. This means you shouldn’t put inside jokes into the advertisement that would require someone to be familiar with the artist to understand it. (A person like this is already inside of your demographic.) A great way to think about this is creating a meme. You should have some type of image, a funny caption, and information for the song/artist. When you’re picking the image you should consider a few things- including images of musicians that are associated with your artist, and pop culture references. The picture has to be engaging and inviting. It should make someone want to read your ad.

Guide for Music Poster Project:

Choose your Song and Artist for the poster.

Find images describing the song or of the artist online.
