Poster Analysis

Coldplay - Mylo Xyloto

Here is the poster created to advertise Coldplays brand new recent album. The poster doesn't include an image of the band as I think that they are widely known and very popular already that just by recognising this image and the name, you should instantly associate with the band Coldplay. The cover uses the theme from the albums front cover. The image which is used shows a lot of colour and artistic collage of images and grafitti. The image could express that the band want to have fun with this album and trying to go for a different style however, still keeping their own random lyrics and tunes. The album also include their logo from the album which is also used for most of the text on the poster to keep the theme constant.The posters main purpose is the sell the album, whereas some posters are used to sell the artists. However as Coldplay are a very  popular band in a many countries, they have no need to sell themselves as they would of when they first started becoming well known.
