Kasabian: Velociraptor: Poster Deconstruction

This is the 4
th
album released by the British indie rock band Kasabian. The
album was released in 2011 and was their 3
rd
number 1 album in the UK. The
record was released by RCA and Columbia Records.

The poster is striking
because of the black
and white theme used.
Most music posters are
bright and colourful,
making this poster
standout
The poster depicts
the lead singer of the
band with his mouth
open. With the
accompanying name,
Velociraptor the
poster connotes to
the audience the
band is animalistic
The text used is the normal
font used by the band for
their name. It is simple and
bold, showing the audience
who the band are
immediately when looking at
the poster
The font used for the album title is different from
the font used for the bands name. it is more
classical in style and is smaller. The colour
relates to the animal, velociraptor, which was a
carnivore. The orientation of the name is
interesting; because the text is upside down the
viewer has to rotate the poster or their head to
read it easily making the poster more interesting
to view
