Website

The way that the t-shirt references the album cover further advertises the wearer’s love for Snow Patrol; due to them being bold enough to wear things that actually say “Snow Patrol” on them.

Despite Snow Patrol‟s music being like that of our chosen

band‟s, this ideology of our audience being very outgoing

about their taste in music contrasts with our more reserved

audience‟s.

The website has a peculiar but intrinsic

section called “memorabilia”, where

miscellaneous items are sold. The most

interesting item sold here is the “Starburst

Poster”. The name alone suggests an

astral-flavour to Snow Patrol; that their

music is atmospheric and spacious –

branching out from the mediocre range.

The products themselves are almost

organically centred; with the thick „egg

carton‟ reminiscent material being pre-

crinkled. This minute detail connotes an

audience who enjoy hobbies such as

origami.

This captures the similarities of our target

audience; people who are interested in

niche areas of hobbies, including arts and

crafts.

The pre-distressed look given to

these items adds a vintage feel

to the products; which is a

reflection of fashion nowadays;

with heritage items being one of

the biggest sections of fashion

in this current day and age.

Snow Patrol‟s homepage has a

black background; connoting that

the band have a distinct dark

twist to their music; a possible

trait for their passion for

melancholic rock.

The yellow contrast in their band

picture represents a glimmer of

hope that the band bring; telling

their audience that they

empathise with their potential

downheartedness.

Our band‟s website would reflect

this design; contrasting colours to

create an ambiguous effect on

the audience. Our message

needs to be subtle as it therefore

seems more intellectual; which is

what our demographic aspire to

be.

Snow Patrol‟s album Eyes Open‟s

cover features two people embraced

and kissing. This suggests that the

songs on the album are to talk about

stories of finding love; or difficulties

in establishing a relationship. The

cover is also in a photo negative

presentation; giving an ambiguous

side to the love story portrayed; as if

not all is right in the two character‟s

worlds.

This album from

Snow Patrol features

a contrast of light

and darkness; saying

the music is likely to

carry messages of

insecurity; as if the

protagonist were

unsure about his life;

most likely in terms

of love. The cursive

font gives a more

personal feel to the

album; as if the

songs have a very

deep meaning to the

singer which is thus

reflected onto the

audience and

listeners.

This relates to our

album cover

because it is to

suggest a story of

love to the

audience, which is to be

developed throughout the

album. Between the two album

covers, A Hundred Million Suns

relates better, as it gives a more

subtle hint to the messages of

the album; as opposed to the

blatant image of two lovers.
