Bands create venue posters as a way to draw you in. They want you to be intrigued, curious, and excited. Venue posters are a reflection of who that band is, and who they want you to think they are, and the message they are trying to get out. The colors and symbols used can strongly symbolize a band’s character and the type of music they create. Although the Strokes poster and the Tame Impala poster may have some similarities, the differences in these two posters strongly reflect the differences in the music genres the bands belong to, and the attitudes of their music. The color schemes used in both posters directly reflect the type of music the band plays and the attitudes they express. The Strokes are an alternative rock band and the dark colors really show off an alternative style. They use red and black to show this, while using yellow to emphasize the band name and information. Not only do these colors show the alternative genre, they also show the darker style that the Strokes embody as a band. Comparatively, the Tame Impala poster uses bright shades of blue, green, purple, pink and white to …show more content…

The Strokes use a black and red roaring tiger as their animal image. This tiger symbolizes the loud, intense, and strong sound of their music. Other than a visual representation of the sound, the tiger does not seem to have any other significance other than visual appeal. Oh the other hand, Tame Impala uses a large tusked elephant as their animal image. The elephant is strong yet gentle like their music and their message. This elephant consists of a collage of bright colors in a pattern different than the background. Unlike the Strokes poster, this animal image actually has a meaning. The Elephant is symbolizing the song “Elephant” that the band released in 2012. Even though the elephant was large, it seems more subtle than the tiger in the Strokes poster, the same type of subtle differences can be seen in their text

For example, to describe the color of red spray paint, Grey says, "The spray paint was a lurid red against the dark wood, dripping to the marble steps like freshly spilled blood" (Grey 1). Grey explains what the spray paint looked like with the phrase "lurid red" and the comparison between the red color of the paint and blood. This also adds to the mysterious effect Grey is trying to create with a somewhat peculiar and out-of-place visual. Adding on to what was being explained about the uniform of Bex looked like, Grey writes, “. . . a navy-blue blazer, the rich color accented by the maroon-and-gold crest of Maplethorpe Academy on their chests” (Grey 5).

For instance, she utilizes exaggeration when depicting the elephant jumping out of a train. The Republican party may be abandoning the figurative “Trump train”, but they are not leaping out of any real locomotive. This rhetorical tool was used to demonstrate the extent to which the GOP members are willing to abandon their parties presidential candidate and risk political suicide, rather than continuing on the Trump train. Using another tactic, Benson adds various symbols, including the elephant and the train. The elephant is the symbol of the Republican party, which is why it is an excellent representation of the GOP in a cartoon.

I felt that a reddish hue overlaid atop the rest of the colors was appropriate. I was entranced and inspired by Damian Duffy’s rendition of Parable of the Sower, another dystopian and apocalyptic novel that served as political commentary on class inequality. In addition to his raw brush strokes, which added a layer of depth to the dire nature of his rendition, Duffy’s deliberate use of rustic reds created an atmosphere that looks difficult to breathe in, creating the sense that the world is abandoned and near its

All of those depictions related to the “immense” crown that had followed the narrator expecting him to kill the elephant. This can be analyzed from his own words: “I was only an absurd puppet pushed to and fro by the will of those yellow faces behind”. “And he also realizes that to shoot the elephant would be not only unnecessary but quite immoral.

What’s initially eye catching, however, is the amount of yellow there is on the stage. The producers deliberately utilized symbolism to establish logos by producing a contradictory relationship between the lyrics of the song and their choice of color.

Anthony decided to lead her campaign based on the color of her state’s flower: the sunflower; thus she symbolically utilized the color yellow throughout her Suffrage movement campaign. This becomes especially

To compare you can even say it is a form of social media in a real world, if it was to be legal then they would have the freedom to draw or leave a viewpoint on certain matters.
