Analysis of Band/Artist posters

The music attached to this poster would be considered 'Indie'.  The background is light blue and simple with just the silhouette of a man either swimming or drowning. The indie genre is suggested
with the light, earthy tones within this poster like the blue and the white contrasting against the dark, black. There being no image of the artist on the poster makes the singer seem faceless and relies on the audience to know who they are already. The writing of the title 'every kingdom' is bold yet thin, suggesting that the music will be light and upbeat.
The album artwork as portrayed on the right is almost identical to the poster. The album artwork was probably produced first and the poster secondly to promote the album.



The music associated to this poster would be 'Indie rock' compared to the just the Indie poster above it. The colours are darker, only with the brighter, white text to add colour to the poster. The outfits of the all male band are mostly black, again with white shirts to match the colour scheme of the poster, but also they are portrayed as vintage. Their leather jackets and blacked out shades gives off a 70's 'bad boy' vibe.
On the poster, the same image is portrayed on the album cover, relating the poster back to the album. The white again, against the black give the same colour scheme, making them similar to look at.

The music associated to this would be consider 'Indie'. The dark background with the bright, paint colours suggest that the music will be darker with colourful lyrics.

The scrawled writing above the poster makes it looks like un-neat handwriting.
The album artwork is completely different to the poster, which is rare to see with albums and posters. However, their are a few similarities like the use of bright colours against the darker.
