Poster analysis


This is the album poster for Green Day – American Idiot. This advertisement follows the popular convention which is the picture that the band uses on the album cover, stretched to fit the page. This form of advertising is popular with music albums as people that see the poster will then be a lot more likely to recognise the album cover when the album is released. As the background of the album cover is black it makes the white text and images stand out. This album cover is a very simplistic design. We thought this type of poster would be good for our album poster, there are a few changes we would make from this though, firstly we would put more information on the poster e.g. the date that the album is released and some song titles. We do not want to put too much information on the poster because if we put to many images and too much text on the picture it will be less recognisable when people that have seen the poster see the album in shops.
