The poster design was quite simple to create as I had already done all of the hard stuff for the front of the album cover. First of all, to achieve the appearance of the poster, I changed the image size so that the width was 12 inches and the length was 16 inches. I then copied and pasted the background in, however since the size of the document had changed this ended up making me have to copy and paste the background in four times and then cropping and editing the size so that the background appeared smooth and cohesive. I then copied and pasted the circle with David in the middle onto the poster document and adjusted the size to make sure it fit and there wasn't too much empty space. Next I uploaded the icons for Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat and adjusted the image size so that they fit onto the document to the size I wanted them to be. After I started creating the typography, using the same from the front album cover 'Renegades, DC' but also adding this time 'Choose Life' as this is a well known phrase from trainspotting so I used this to emphasise the intertextual reference. I then added the words 'new album, out soon' and adjusted the colour and size of all of the typography to replicate the typography in the Trainspotting poster. Then in the bottom right hand corner I added a website link to www.DavidCetin.com as I think that it adds to the professional appearance and is something that is shown in other advertisments for albums.
