Poster Research - Alice in Chains

This poster is taken from another very popular grunge band that is still around today and has a huge fan base. I believe there are many elements in this poster that are very similar to both Nirvana’s and Anthrax’s posters. Again there is an image of the band together, and interestingly all 3 posters don’t have any instruments. This may be because they believe it’s not necessary as their fans already know what they play. Although we don’t have a fan base it is likely we won’t do this either, this is because our poster is linked to our music video.  This image has also been edited to look older, an aspect I have seen with grunge posters, music videos and album art. All the posters have their band name which I believe is crucial, it’s something that I will be doing. I also believe it looks effective with an image of the band members because it allows audiences to remember who the band members are and what they look like. It also makes a great connection to the bands other media products. I also like the way the text matches the sepia style effect of the image itself, I believe it looks effective and is something I will take into consideration when designing my own poster.
