Album Poster Analysis.

Radiohead, The King Of Limbs, situated on the back of an NME, which is fronted by Liam Gallagher and his Beady Eye clan, I doubt he's pleased with that. Anyone, back to Radiohead, a band that need no introduction, not that they particularly get one with this album poster.

The Poster has 'Radiohead' written at the top of the poster, postioned backwards, in a large white font, with the whole background being black, situated under this is the name of the album, in slightly smaller font, this could have been done for one of two reasonur the first is because it is a way that Radiohead are getting the point across that they sell an album on the status of their name, rather than the quality of their album. Secondly it could be because the album name is longer than the band name, therefore to make the presentation look the better, they've made the font smaller. Continuing in the same structure, underneath this they have the release formats, and the date of it as well.

Following the written language, we see the image that has created for, and associated with The King Of Limbs album, in some way's it could described as a filler to take up some of the space of the poster, but you would guess it's their due to the relevance of the album artwork, in which it is included on the album.

Finally, with a swap in background, and font colour. the poster states you can purchase the album from HMV, this will have been included because Radiohead will have been paid to HMV's name on the magazine, as it will give their company more exposure.

Finally, next to this is the XL Recordings logo, they will want people to know Radiohead are on their label, therefore will want to be included on the poster.

Altogether this looks quite basic, but it doesn't look bad, tacky or rushed in any case. Which gives me confidence that I could create something simplistic, that would still work well.
