Poster Textual Analysis - Tour/Concert



This is the Linkin Park Poster for their Minutes to midnight. The most obvious thing at first glance is the band image. This is an obvious image for a poster as fans of the band who have done an slight research into the band will notice them straight off and will be instantly drawn to the poster. The second eye catching thing on the poster is the band name printed straight across the top. This is an instant eye catcher as the have made a cohesion between the style on the poster and the style on  the album cover. This shows that cohesion is a very important factor in band image. It makes for an instantly recognizable piece of prilimanry text, making it both eye catching and informative.
The tour is noticed as being called 'Minutes to Midnight' This is the name of the third studio album by the band. For fans of the album this is a must attend concert as not only will they be playing the whole album and that is noted by the fact they named it after the album.
Thirdly the info is important. When, where, how to book, all the important information you need to get hold of a ticket. As it is all well and good promoting a tour yet if no one can buy a ticket it will all be for nothing.
All these things will make for a successful poster that is both eye catching and informative and you need that in order to promote a successful concert.
