Foster the people - Poster Analysis

                     

This poster is advertising 'Foster the peoples' event in Brooklyn, New York. The styling of their poster resembles their genre of music 'indie pop', as their quirky design represents the individuality of the band members. I presume that the three faces are members of the band and their fans would be capable of identifying the individuals from their face shape, hairstyle and whether they feature in their promos wearing accessories like glasses. The stars formed in the background could symbolise a sense of unconsciousness or dreaminess. This could resemble a few of their songs, as in their top seller 'Pumped Up Kicks' the young boy planning to kill his fellow class mates seems slightly psychotic and chooses to fantasy over his idea and the power he feels before taking action. The artsy patterns may be meaningful to a particular styling or culture, it almost helps to develop the 'indie' music as they're contributing their uniqueness to the genre. The choice of colours are gender neutral as the artist has contributed both blues and shades of pinks/purples into the poster. This clearly shows that they are not willing to restrict a particular gender to listen to their music.
