Music Poster Analysis

The image on this poster is a medium shot of the band this reflects their style since it is natural and not directly posed for the camera they are just pictured doing their own thing. The way they are positioned also reflects that they already have their image awareness so they don’t need to have the band standing right out of the poster to be recognised by their audience and also indicates how laid back they are with how casual their stance is and are not bothered about looking good and standing right out the shot by being photo shopped like most bands. The black and white image also reflects their indie style again by making everything plain and simple I think this works well with the image they are trying to put across. The simple style is continued throughout the poster with the words again being in black and white but still stand out as they are in a bold font. However the album title is in red which is instantly the first thing you look at which is effective as that is the thing they are trying to sell, their album. So since you are drawn to this you can then read around this if you are interested and this is what they have done as they have put what magazines think of the album slightly smaller, even though this does not stand out as much you wouldn’t be drawn in by this part anyways it would be the text that stands out and then you would read this if you liked what you saw. I think this works well and would look to doing this on my poster as I think sometimes things which are more bold and simple work better especially since the band I am doing is indie also.
