Music Poster Analysis

This poster was from Rihanna’s album ‘loud’. This album was mainly about being free and living your life as much as you can. This poster represents that well as Rihanna looks like she is living her life and being free as she is wearing a flower crown and she has bright red hair. The pattern that is on the poster is also flowery which is a symbol for being free and independent. The makeup she is wearing is very natural, this suggests she is being independent and embracing her natural beauty instead of wearing lots of makeup to make herself look better. In the picture she also looks like she doesn’t have any clothes on, this suggests she feels free enough not to want to wear whatever she wants, and in this case that is nothing.

This poster was from Taylor Swift’s 1989 album, the poster came with the digipak.This poster is meant to look like a polaroid picture to fit in with the name of the album ‘1989’. Although the picture was clearly taken by a modern high tech camera, it is given the frame around the edge to look like a polaroid picture from the 80’s, this gives it a professional but vintage look even though the picture itself is very modern, the style is vintage.The picture itself is very bright and has a very white colour to it, this could make it feel more happy to the buyer, and if it is more happy then they are more likely to buy the album.The brightness also goes well with the songs on the album, they are very happy and upbeat.Taylor is alone on the poster, this could reflect her songs well as they are mainly to do with being independent and not needing to be in a relationship to be happy.

The marker pen writing at the bottom also gives the picture a homemade feel to it, this makes the album feel more personal and the buyer may feel like they are getting to know Taylor personally.

This poster was from Beyonce’s album ‘I Am Sasha Fierce’, this shows Beyonce and her alter ego Sasha fierce on either side of her face. The Beyonce side of the face is natural and kind soft looking, this side looks very gentle and kind, while the Sasha Fierce side of the face is fierce and intimidating, this could be done to show that Beyonce can be kind, but if you get on the wrong side of her she can be very intimidating. This can make her a good role model to her audience as it sends the message of be kind, but if someone tries to get on the wrong side of you then you need to stand up for yourself.The background of the shot is two beaches, pone side is light and sunny, while the other side is cloudy and dark, this corresponds with the different sides of Beyonce.The whole poster is black and white, this adds a more serious tone to the poster and adds more tension to the two sides of her personality.

The Sasha Fierce side of her is more black than the Beyonce side, this could be because the Sasha fierce side needs to be more hard hitting and more intimidating.
