Take That- Website
Take That- Posters and overall analysis
All the previous images all relate to each other. “The Circus” album and
tour poster all have similar imagery on them. This is good because an audience
would recognise it as Take That and that album. The imagery on these
posters and CDs are all related to the title of their new release, with them
doing things that things that are typical of a circus.
The previous album and singles also relate to each other as the imagery is similar. The four of them are walking together and it is them four that are recognised for the band. As this was
their comeback album it seems fitting for them to all be walking together as it gives the impression there coming back
together and walking towards something that could be successful
again.

Kasabian- Poster and
analysis
The three albums and the poster to the left all have something in common. The font never changes on things that relate
to Kasabian, it is on every album and poster so that people recognise it as them. This is effective as fans and
audiences get to know certain bands by images or fonts and this works well with
Kasabian.
The album is effective as it is called “Empire” and the imagery is a like a King
from a pack of cards and Kings are sometimes related to Empires, also the image looks similar to Jesus which also could be related to Empires. The first
album called “Kasabian” is black with a strange image on the front which looks a bit mysterious. This is effective with being a first album as people do not know what to expect and this gives nothing away and makes people wonder more. The third one
has an image of the band on there but again is a bit different and would make
the audience wonder.
The picture to the right is a picture I
took myself when at an oasis concert as
The Enemy were one of the support acts. It again shows the band
name in the same font they use on their albums and for their
band image.
These two images on the
left and right are the front covers of two albums from the band The Enemy.
They both have a similar colour scene and the
same font, building up a recognisable image of the
band.
This is an image taken from their website. It shows
again how the band have used similar features that are recognisable to
them.
These are two singles from their new album, both again similar to the
album covers and other media items of theirs.
A popular poster of the
band.
All of the bands product represent
each other. They are all similar in colour, font type and genre.
With most things being greyscale or dark it gives the
impression of mystery of the band.
The Enemy are a popular indie band that a lot of people
like and these covers are effective not to give to much away.

U2 Single covers
from different
albums.All the U2 products tend to
have the band members
across them all apart from
their new album. The single
covers also do the same. It is
only the new album “No Line
on the Horiczon” that does
not show the band on the
cover however the back does.
This is a common trend
across the products, as well
as their titles which are
similar to each other. This is
good as the band are well
recognised across the world
and their imagery helps to
identify them a lot better and
helps in their success. The
newer products are much
more modern and effective as
they are uncoventional to
what the band have usually
had as imagery and titles.
Conclusion
From researching existing products I have found that many bands imagery is the same across a range of their products. This can be effective to recognise a certain band and to
build up a imagery for them so they are more successful in the industry. When designing
my own cover and poster I shall use the techniques and what I have found in these to make sure my work is effective enough for an audience, taking in to consideration the genre
of music and artist style.
