Album Poster Analysis.

This Poster was made to promote the debut album of highly anticipated band The Vaccines, 'What Did You Expect From The Vaccines'. The poster in many way's could be deemed quite simple, largely because the wiritng is keep minimal, and is kept in a black font, The name of the album is placed in large font, at the centre of the page, this is done so that people will be attracted to the Tname of the album as soon as they see it. Underneath is the date that the album was released, this is in a smaller font, nor is it in bold, simply because this isn't quite as an important piece of information, compared to the name of the album.




Other notable feartures include recommedations, and critcal success that the album has been given, such as " "The return of the great British guitar band" NME" and a four star rating off Q magazine. Obviuously these have been placed so that potential buyers of the album will see that music reviewers have given the album positves reviews, thereore this could persuade people to buy the magazine.

We also get a logo of Columbia Records, this is just because they want to make sure that people know The Vaccines belong to their label.

Also Play.com have their company advertised on the bottom right of the poster, which they will have paid. This is just because they believe this will help them expand their name.

Also the Album Cover has included on the bottom right of the page, so that now when people see the album in a show they will know that it is The Vaccines album. Also the backdrop to the poster, is the centre piece from the album itself, this helps give the poster more life, it's also the image phase The Vaccines that been going through during this album.

Overall, I believe this is the quite a simple in it's own respect, they are helping to their album into peoples minds, by having catch the readers eye, as it is based in the centre of the page. The affective simplicity is something I believe I could recreate on my poster.
