1) Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown Poster (Punk)
This poster is based around the Album Cover, displaying a brick wall with graffiti sprayed on it with two people kissing, The Green Day Logo is in big, bold text which looks like paint dripping. The other text presented is similar however its not bold and in different colours. The poster in itself is very colourful and decorative which is what i aim to look for on my poster. This poster makes me think about what i'd like to aim for when designing my poster. do i want the band to be presented on the main cover or do i want to be creative and use my two characters in my Music Video to create a sense of a story being told within the Album. I need to think about the colours im going to use and why id chose them. The text at the bottom gives a very short intel into what songs are on the album, with company credits presented at the bottom.2) Slash - World on Fire Poster (Rock)
This poster is very Creative and Arty. The poster shows a canvas of melted toys and figurines creative a 'World on Fire' scene. The artwork used was taken from a piece made by Ron English who is a PopArt Artist who made the toy canvas for the Album Cover. The text is very bold yet plain like Ariel font, the text is plain yet affective because there are loads of colours used in the poster in which it makes it stand out however because the text is white with a black shadow around it, it makes it stand out above everything else. The poster uses some company text and some logos to tell the audience where they can get the Album. HMV is a huge company which specialises in Music and Film, this is one of the main companies which specialise in Music such as ITunes, Spotify and Amazon Music, the only difference is HMV is a store instead of an online service.3) Jessie J - Who You Are Poster (Pop)
This poster is very basic due to the fact it displays the album cover itself and the rest is in Black, this blends well with the contrast of the poster as its mainly Black, Gold and White colour based. The Songs are presented in white and the subtitles are presented in a Gold/Yellow colour. We can see some more company credits just like the Slash Poster which brands different companies however this is different compared to the Slash poster because it doesn't advertise the music company in which the audience can go there and purchase it. The poster displays the Lava Logo (Recording Company) and Universal Republic (Record Label). The Font used in the Logo 'Jessie J' is very powerful on the page which stands out on the black behind it. She is looking very powerful and which she's looking at the camera which looks like she's looking into the readers eyes.
Ben, your textual analysis of album adverts is quite proficient. What would've enhanced them is a deeper textual readings of say, why Slash has melted toys in his image, what are the deeper connotations of such an idea. Also, you could do with making the images bigger so that we can see them clearer.
