This advert shows the poster for The Kooks debut album 'Inside In Inside Out'. The poster is simpley the photograph used on the front of the CD case. The main differences are that the album name has been removed, the picture has been horizontally elongated and there is a more grainy, grey filter on than the album cover which is quite bright white. The image has also been cropped so the people are larger and there is less background in the photo, making us feel closer to the band, it also gives the impression that we are a member of the band sitting in the circle with them. Hence creating an intimate realtionship between artist and target audience
The poster below is for The Kooks' second albuim 'Konk', this poster is again exactly the same as the album cover and extended horizontally with 'The Kooks' and 'Konk' written on the left in the same fonts and colours seen on the album cover only slightly larger. The only other feature of the poster is the dowload from iTunes text and the flag of the USA. The fact that the poster is the exact same graphic as the digipak creates upm ost continuity and ensures there can be no confusion between what and who it is advertising. The usual unique font is used for the artist name as used on all publications by The Kooks.
The advert below is for Razorlights 3rd album 'Slipway fires'. The top part of the advert is the album cover but the poster is extended vertically. The album name and artist text has been moved from its position on the CD cover to below the grpahic and the text colour has been changed from red to white. This creates a nice two tone look to the poster. The album title text is much larger than any other text so the reader can immediately identify who the artist is and which album is being advertised.
This is the poster for the album release of 'The Sound of The Smiths' which is a remastered CD. The top of the poster is a direct copy of the album cover. There is added information on the bottom of the poster. The colour scheme relates to the old school genre of music and that this is a remastered album from the past. The Blue text breaks up the sepia nicely as it is from the opposite side of the colour spectrum.
Other things on this poster as with most of the others I have seen are a record label logo, release date, list of popular singles the album features.
