suck it and see poster analysis

This advertisement uses two colours and is kept very minimal. this use of colour is very subtle as well as neither of the two are stand out, bright colours that you expect to see as a way of gaining some attention. Also as a well known band the largest text on the page is their name to make them stand out. The next thing is the album name which allows the reader/listener to research into the new album. in small print at the bottom of the page is some advertisement for the record company via their website and logo. I have been inspired by this in terms of the central layout and content. However I have spaced out my page a bit more so the is a bit less empty space.

Main Inspiration for Digipak/Poster

Simplistic and minimalistic CD covers and posters which all have images to represent the band. This convention in a poster or CD cover i think works really well if the image can get so well known to represent a certain band. The reason i have done my digipak and poster in this simplistic style as i feel it suits my indie band and the image which was created also could become popular enough that no writing on a poster/advertisement/CD cover is necessary. If a simple image is to become so well known and represents a band i think this is a huge achievement for the band and i feel this kind of style on a digipak and poster is more affective than other forms and styles.

Main inspiration

The Arctic Monkeys album 'suck it and see' has inspired me greatly when creating my own digipak and poster. The minimal layout is striking and makes the viewer notice whats important, the band and their album. Also I like the colour scheme evolving around two main colours instead of three although I have still used the conventional three.
