Arctic Monkey's album poster

The Arctic Monkey's album poster is very simple, but incredibly effective as people know instantly what the band is trying to get across. The use of the logo and band name allows the audience to recognise the band, as these are distinct to the band. The use of black and white within the poster relates to the album which they released with this poster, and is a bit of a teaser for the release. Additionally, the use of the simple text at the bottom of the poster catches the eye of the viewer. Even though there isn't much text, the idea has been put across and has allowed the band to advertise their album prior to the release.
Foals' album poster

Foals' album poster is also based in black and white (something which is a characteristic of indie) and is effective. The use of the sketched image of the band is an indicator of what the album cover and inside contents of the album cover may look like. Also, the artists have also included the tour dates within the poster; this encourages the audience to also go to a tour date as well as buying the album. I think that the simplistic designs are effedtive, as they get straight to the point of promoting and advertising the album.
Wolf Alice's tour poster with album promo
Wolf Alice's poster features the album cover and logo with tour dates. The poster also includes the small section at the bottom which promotes the new album release. The overall design of the poster is to promote both the tour and encourages the audience to buy the new album. The overall layout of the poster is quite full, featuring lots of different information about the band. The poster also has links to the bands website and social media pages; I will use this within my own band poster, as this draws recognition to the band.
