Semiotic Analyses of Band Posters







As you can see from above, the general theme of a 'rock' genred poster is that it is black, along with images that connote death, such as skulls. 

The name of the band is always the largest text and is usually in the font that the band normally has; the font is stereotypically block writing).

If it is a poster for a concert, then the venue and other details are given at the bottom, and are all in the same font (although not typically the same font as the band).

Finally, the name of the record company that the band belongs to is always placed at the bottom of the poster, as well as the band's website address.
