Artist: Kasabian
Poster: West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum
This poster is a good example of how rock artists portray an image of a Dark angry rocker. The poster above is from the English rock band: "Kasabian" who were promoting their new album: The West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum. Instantly, you can recognize that the band is trying to portray the stereotypical "Rocker" image in many different ways. Firstly, the band members are all dressed in quite dark clothing. This is a feature of many rock-bands as rock is commonly associated with quite dark, aggressive songs. Secondly, the fact that all the band members have long dark hair emphasizes they are a rock band as this too is a feature of many rock artists. Thirdly, the way that the band members are stood portrays an aggressive, angry "rockstar" look, as does their Gothic make up they are wearing. It is Clear to the audience who the main band members are as they are stood sideways looking directly at the camera. furthermore, the Lead singer seems to be dressed differently to the rest of the band members as he is wearing a black jacket with a golden leaf design, suggesting he has power over the group.
