Production of Ancillary Products: Production of the Tour Dates

Tour Dates

To create the Tour Dates poster, the part that required the most research was the venues Bl4ke would be preforming in.

To find the venues, I researched popular gigging venues around the area that I wanted Bl4ke tour in:

I then used these venues, and researched them to find out which ones had booked dubstep artists before. I didn't research the O2 Apollo Manchester, because I thought that as my artist is a new artist, it would be unlikely that his first tour would be in such a high profile location such as this.

I went into a lot of detail when I was researching locations in Nottingham, because I thought that this is the home of our target audience, so I would need venues that are too high profile, but are known well enough to draw up a large crowd. This is because aside from Bl4ke fans, people are more likely to turn up if it is a venue they know well and trust. Through my research, I was referred to "Skiddle.com", where I was able to search local events already taking place in Nottingham, and find the venues that have held the most dubstep gigs.

Creating the Advertisement

The same level of attention had to be paid to the magazines reviews. This is because, I wanted to make sure that Bl4ke would draw a lot of attention amongst various dubstep audiences, and thus the best way to do this would be to add reviews from reputable Dubstep magazines.
