Again a singular image is used as the background for this
poster conveying that a simplistic style is conventional for album
advertisement poster designs. This poster also once again has a strong sense of
symmetry but the text is not as evenly spaced vertically, instead the text is
grouped into two juxtaposing sections.
The first section shows the band name as the most important
element of information with regards to font size. This is typical of music
advertisements as the bands name often has a unique font specific to the band,
which viewers recognise and therefore is more eye-catching. The rest of the
text is a serif typeface, which has formal/ regal connotations generating an
overstated sense of prominence.
This theme is continued in the style of image through the
strong parallels to renaissance paintings evoked by the yellowy hues and
watercolour style. Much like the Maximo Park advertisement the colour scheme
has an omber feel that enables the band name and album name contrast with the
body of text as it is the opposite tone to white.
Quotes from accredited music reviewers are shown on the
advertisement to persuade viewers to buy the album by indorsing the album
making it seem a to have a guaranteed quality.
