Magazine pull out analysis: Maximo Park 'Quicken The Heart'


The sans typography chosen is very simplistic and for that reason seems to have greater importance. All the text is upper case, which commands the viewers’ attention and implies an inflated significance. The monotone white text contrast sharply with the vibrant images used as a background.
The poster has a strong sense of symmetry created by the centralised text and fanned out lines. The picture is very aesthetically pleasing and plays on the natural beauty of space by enhancing the glow from the stars and the ombre sky. The colours are very rich metallic and therefore connote high quality, as gold and bronze are both winning medal colours.
The box around the “limited edition…” text highlights the U.S.P’s worth to the viewer even though the text is the same size as the main body of text. The name of the album is obviously the most important bit of information on the poster as it is roughly centralised and the larges piece of text encouraging viewers to remember it more. The hierarchy of importance of the information is shown through font size; the larger the text the more eye-catching and easy to read it is, conveying the information to the viewers more affectively.
