Music Adverts/Posters

Here are a few examples of music adverts and promotional posters that artists use to advertise either a new album they're bringing out or a tour that they are about to go on (which is also a method of advertising). I've noticed that nearly all of the posters I've found include an image of the artist or the band, even if the image has been digitally enhanced or modified to combine the artist with an animal for example. This is interesting and makes me think that for my own work it would perhaps be wise to include an image of my actors that will be featuring in my video on my promotional poster. On the other hand some posters are quite the opposite. They include simplistic images of random objects, or graphic work that looks more artist and sometimes becomes a brand logo for the artist. So maybe I will experiment with which angle I want to go down before producing my final outcome.
