Foo Fighters Poster and Album Synergy


This is the poster for the Foo Fighters album, Echoes Silence Patience & Grace. The poster features the band members, typical of any band poster that I have researched. The band members are all seen looking at the camera taking the picture, this also typical of band posters that I have researched. The poster has a black and white effect to it, making it look older and gives it an essence of vintage. The black and white effect is seen on not only the poster but also on the album cover showing a clear synergy. The band members are wearing casual clothing, possibly reflecting their music as being casual. The band members are seen sitting on a set of stairs, I think maybe in order of importance. The lead singer/front man is seen at the foot of the stairs, backing singer/drummer behind him and the two guitarist’s further back. The typography used in this poster, is again typical of a band promotion poster, with the band name in big bold letters and then the album name underneath. The poster is simple, as it doesn’t have much going on in it, making it easier to look at and it doesn’t take the focus off of the band members which is the main focus of the poster.



This is the album cover for the Foo Fighters album, Echoes Silence Patience & Grace. The album is in black and white just like the poster. The album seems to focus on an atom bomb in the middle of the page with some sort of mechanism in the middle like and engine. I think that the band are trying to put a message across in their music maybe about war or death as the bomb is associated to death. I cannot find the back cover for this album on the internet so I cannot analyse the back cover.
