Album poster analysis

The main image of this poster (which

is on the album cover as well) is a

low-key lit photo of a woman’s face.

Her expression is very passive and

she seems quite desolate. This could -

along with the colour scheme of

mainly black - connote themes of

mellowness and darkness.

The main font used is – although legible

– very blurred and pixelated around the

edges and the letters are mostly white,

but with small bits of colouraround the

edges, similar to that on a TV screen.

These all do well to represent a digital

theme. The blurredness and distortion of

the typeface also adds to a mellow, hazy

theme.

The colour scheme is slight and feels

subdued. It is mainly black, white and

tan/brown with subtle colours around the

edges of the image and typeface. This

could have been used to symbolise a

feeling of distance - things don’t seem as

detailed and big when they are far away.

The secondary font is very ‘plain’, with

no serifs or alterations, suggesting

straight away a sense of formality or

even neutrality. This is further supported

by the font’s straight white colouration.

The poster uses the

same image and text

from the actual album

cover, but has been

arranged to fit on a

rectangular poster. The

poster also features a

list of popular songs,

which the album does

not.

The choice of font and

image effects hint at

things digitaland

electronic – and

possibly a futuristic

theme. Both the image

and the font are slightly

distorted and pixelated,

giving a sense of

something ‘glitching’.

This could perhaps

suggest the concept

that something isn’t

working properly, or is

malfunctioning – again

linking to things digital

and futuristic.
