With a pop band, the poster tends to be colourful with each member wearing a colour to make them stand out.

They have kept everything simple with the background so the only focus is on the band members themselves

The typography is simple and bold it gives the poster a modern image with the lack of props and set used in the picture.

I would say the focus point is purely of the band members and nothing else. The colour draping draws the audiences attention into the poster

Rihanna’s single poster for Rude boy makes a statement alone on how she is dress, which is actually nothing. She only has a sign with the song’s name on to cover herself up, this draws focus not only towards her but the words on the sign.

Rihanna uses Scopophilia to get her album more aware of.

The colors as well draw your attention to the artist herself.Using red to pick up the text and her lips also bring the audience to look at her face and not her body.

The large R is her logo which she used for this album this was done so audiences would know that this song was linked to this album.

Her boots and hat also state she isn’t a girly girl that dress all nice and pretty but goes against the norm and wears more tom boy clothes.

Paramore are a rock/pop group. They have gone for a graphic style poster that is more rock edge rather than pop.

The have kept the colours black and white but with one word in colour saying “Riot”. This draws the attention to the writing around which is the same word.

The typography is scratchy writing and is placed all over the place on the poster, this has been done to link with the word Riot, showing chaos.

The band members has been placed on the front so fans can establish who the artist is.

The poster is very opposite to a typically rock/pop poster as the colour, use of effects and what the band members wear goes against the stereotype of pop/rock clothing and more rock.
