Album Poster Analysis.

Arcade Fire, with their latest album, the critically acclaimed 'The Suburbs', released a very 'Ordinary promtional poster on the back of NME album, which coincidently, they were the cover stars, which could have been the reason they gave minimal information, since buyers of the magazine, would most probably be familiar with the band.

The only written context on the poster say's "Arcade Fire presents 'The Suburbs"", followed by the words "The Brand New Album" written slanted to the left in a red box. I believe the lack of writing on this works well actually, because it isn't asking readers to digest too much information, it's stating the name of the band, and the name of the album, respectively. The advantage of this is that they won't lose the readers attention, something which I could look to for inspiration when I come to complete my album.

Other than this, the backdrop to the album is album cover itself, this is example of getting the album image into the readers head, so that if they see it a shop, they will know what album it is, which could increase album sales.

Similar to many album posters, it's once again very simplistic, something that I could follow when it comes to making my final poster, as it grabs the readers attention and keeps it.
