The clash Album cover and post modernism

  


Conventionally it is traditional includes album name, artists name image of the artist.
Rock image


code:

Rebellion
youthful
aggression
costume is predictable

In motion shot gives the band a sense of movement and energy
Black and white imagery give the image a sincerity and classic look as well as a sense of conviction
The 'London Calling' is a jeux de position in itself. It contrasts with the image. The wacky font, cartoonish in appearance really stands out. This is what would grab an audience if it was in a shop.

The album cover is a homage of Elvis Presleys's first album. Making it Post Modern as the idea has already occurred.  The one difference i would say makes them stand out form each other is the aggression and the joy. The clashes action shot very aggressive. Smashing a guitar is nowadays somewhat of a convention of a heavy rock band. Its releases the idea of power, excitement and anger. In comparison is Elvis Presley's image. Just from his facial expressions we see happiness, excitement and his joy for music. Comparing them both, the Lay out maybe the same but the images represent (in my opinion as the audience) completely different things.
