The Kooks Poster

In this poster of the Kooks it shows something different that has not being show before that I have seen by any other band. Normally when looking at Kooks posters they typically have pictures of the band showing their faces and expressions for a suggestion for the album. However this is different they have decided not to show their faces and inside have shown this kind of poppy head look, which stands out against the background, and looks very affective. It also shows the randomness of the band and maybe their strides to stand out in the indie market. They have recently come back from a separation within the band, and I feel this poster shows new life to the band, though it still carries on with the way they were before. It is against a yellow background to allow the ‘poppy heads’ to stand out along with the bodies, with the strong red colour over powering the light yellow. They are separate in the poster and are unlike older posters where they are normally standing together, this could be down to new members being drafted in. Finally at the top is the name of the band, they have kept the same style of font as they had when they first came on to the music scene, this is still a modern looking font which would attract new followers but also keep the older followers of this band.

Since they’re heads aren’t shown they are unidentifiable, and I also feel the head also look like the centre of a micro phone, this could be saying that they do not care know is in the band, they just want people to love them for their music.
