The Clash- Album cover and advertising research


The picture above is of The Clash's most famous album, London Calling. On the front it shows a picture of Joe Strummer about to smash a guitar, it was taken during a gig which the band then decided to use it on their album. The contrasting colours of a light pink and green for the font on a black and white picture makes the title stand out, it also contrasts to the punk image as a light pink and green are not usually associated with this image. The back cover, with track titles and photos of the band is more fitting with the image as simple but striking monotone colours have been used.

Above is a picture of their poster for the album. It is the same photo but a different size and therefore the album, photo and band are more easily recognisable.
