This is proberbly the most comon type of promontional poster for a female artiste whereby the she has been photgraphed scantaly clothed in an obscure pose. This creates a feeling of sexual desire for any male passers by/ fans who prehaps aren't so interested in the music as the teenage girls but more in the performer herself. This ofcourse works well in the mainstream but there are also female artistes of a different genres that dont tend to play off of this selling point.

Florance and the Machine is such an artiste wherby instead of playing off of her looks she has a much more creative apporach. As you can see from the poster below the poster simply shows of the artistic, experimental style of her act, playing off the hand made authenticity of her music. The riped cardboard look of the poster is a good visual metaphor as it shows the rough and ready approach that she has with her music and audince.



The poster below is proberbly the most uncommon of all styles as it relates directly to the film to which the artiste performed the soundtrack. Either that or the artist, Jon Connor has used the intertextuality of the Terminator films to create this poster. I particually like how they have used the same typography and font as in the films.
