AP - How are you representing your artist across the printwork?

In my advert I wanted to convey the idea that Creaky Boards are a down to earth kind of band  that care more about their music making talents rather than being superficial and appealing to the mass pop culture audience. 

Because Creaky Boards are a rather obscure band they do not have many album covers or adverts. This has enabled me to be more creative when designing my advert as it means I haven't been obliged to stick to a particular theme. However, from the album Brooklyn Is Love I have gained an insight into what this theme could be. I have used a 'posterise' effect to create a sketchy cartoon look which gives a sense of surrealism and a retro feel which Creaky Boards exudes as a band. 
Similarly to the album cover, I have put the band name on a black background so that it stands out and grabs the reader's eye and also creates a sense of continuity for the handful of people who may have come across them. 
I have tried to represent the band as 'indie' through the use of a papyrus coloured background and sketchy writing with a few bold colours. This is a common theme in indie printwork as they use more earthy and natural colours.
