Looking at Indie Adverts - Green Day


This advert is very simple. The colour scheme is very orientated around the rock genre. it has the typical colours of red, black and white. the black is covering the background and most of the picture. It is very plain and doesn't attract people's eye very much. But the dark red on the page stands out against the black and this is what attracts people's eye. The contrast of the dull and dark colour to the collourful and dark colour is amazing as it makes such a big difference to the page. The white on the page stands out as the red drips across the pale colour. It also stands out when the white is against the black as the colours are complete opposites. This contrast in colours gives the poster a phenomenal eye catching look.

The band's name is written in capital letters which makes the name pop off of the page and gives the poster a rock themed look. The capital letters make it look like the words are angrily said which is an emotion which is often associated with the rock genre. The tiny pieces missing from the letters give an effect of rebellion and gives it an animalistic look. This also adds to the rock genre. The writing underneath, however, is written in small letters which could indicate to the next heading being significantly inferior than the band's name. On the other hand, it could just be another rebellion move as it contrasts to the band's name and this could just be going with the rock genre.
