The large acts that are headlining are written in  large letters of different fonts for each band this will be eye catching as will make the band easy recognisable. The poster has many colours so that it will stand out on bill boards and when people pass by will look appealing.

 

On the poster word play is used as at the top it says ' first wave of acts announced' linking the surf part of the festival to announcing the acts.This also implies that there is more acts to come and this is just the start of it, this will intrigue people into wanting to know what other acts and performing and keep them interested.

Had the gender of the audience influenced the text? The poster features a surf board as is also a surf festival this may be influenced by a male audience however female surf too therefore isn't influenced by a gender. The acts lined up for the festival and printed on the poster could have been influenced by a gender as many of the bands and not typical female bands such as boy bands and music appealing to just girls. However again the gender hasn't largely been influenced by a gender as the festival and musicians appeal to anyone.
