Analysis of digipak and adverts

RADIOHEAD
Poster
Album cover















Radiohead are an English alternative rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, formed in 1985. The band consists of Thom Yorke (vocals, guitar, piano, beats), Jonny Greenwood (guitars, keyboards, other instruments), Ed O'Brien (guitars, backing vocals), Colin Greenwood (bass, synthesisers) and Phil Selway (drums, percussion). We see that there is an obvious link between the poster and the album cover therefore letting the audience know information such as when the album would be in stores. On the album cover we see different colours of legos rather than a picture of the band members this could suggest that they are established and have made a name for themselves. Also similarities between the poster and the and the album are: the fonts are the same aswell as the colours. Although there are no legos to be found any where on the poster we immidieatly see the link between the two due to the colours and fonts.

BLUR

Album Cover



Postrer
Blur are an English alternative rock band. Formed in London in 1989 as Seymour, the group consists of singer Damon Albarn, guitarist Graham Coxon, bassist Alex James and drummer Dave Rowntree. Once again we see an obvious link between all three in colour however the font found on the poster is different to that found on the ablum cover and CD. I noticed that i cant be really certain that this is a poster because all it does is give us the date, am assuming of when the album will be released and the name of the brand they are advertising. This poster doesn't provide us with anymore infomation about the brand.e.g. website, tour dates where,etc. This could be put down to the band being an established brand but even still i feel they need to provide their the audience with necessary information regardless of them being established or not. I personally like the album cover of a blury image, it goes with the name blur.I guess this was done on purpose.

MUSE


Poster

Album Cover













We notice straight away the name Muse due to its font and layout, its the same almost all the time.I feel the album cover definately goes with the genre alternative rock although it doesn't follow the traditional approach to presentation e.g (picture of the band members on the Album cover). This poster on the other hand isn't advertising this album cover but i feel this is an almost perfect poster because it provides everything the audience need e.g. the brand name, website, tour dates and a picture to promote the band.


In conclusuion all three brands i have looked at have all gone a aginst the conventional style of presentation but instead have followed a mordern approach to presentation. This therefore lets me know that its ok for me to follow the mordern approach.
