Album Posters Analysis

Fabian Atkin

Done in a similar style to classic 50/60’s film poster with recognisable iconography for any fans of the band

Alter Egos that the fans will recognise and therefore understand any in-jokes that take place

The date and time the music video will officially release, a poster designed to advertise a music video isn't very common

A character commonly rapped about in Tyler, the Creators music and therefore instantly recognisable by any fans, similar use of iconography

The fonts used universally by all of these bands make their style consistent and therefore easily recognised by any fans, the font being the focal point on the album art

The lack of a picture but the simple colour scheme allows this poster to stand out, therefore making it memorable

Simple information based block that only really tells about the essentials, this is a minimalistic approach to making a poster without frivolous things

Use of recognisable logo that fans of the band will instantly notice and therefore people will know who the band is instantly

Image is just one of the band, again drawing in fans and using recognisable icons

Only the basic information required therefore stops the poster from being too busy

The large interesting and easily discernable logo stands out

Album art is again similar iconography

Advertising for the new album

Important tour dates, the tour is to promote the album

The black and white colour scheme is important as it is similar to her music videos and is therefore consistent theming throughout

The Virgin tour is a reference to a popular song by her “like a virgin” and this tour is to promote that song

Font that suits the style of the photography and the music

The date and where the event is takes up very little space at the bottom and seems to go for subtlety above all
