Magazine advert analysis - Kings of Leon

This magazine advertisement of Kings of Leon just has a blurry picture of what i assume is a beach since there are palm trees and sunlight. The title of the band is at the top in a big font. The title of the tour or album is in the same font and colour except a bit smalller so that the artist's name stands out more. The release date of the poster is in a similar font but it's slightly transparent whereas the other texts are white.  The title ' Come Around Sundown' fits in with the beach/sun theme of the poster. I think it's a really simple but effective poster. The poster also looks vintage, like it was made in the 60s which also goes with the indi image that Kings of Leon have. Most artists tend to use images or a lot of graphics on their posters to attract attention, so I think it's kind of refreshing to see a simple image with minimum effects used. I also like how it doesn't show the band which suggests that maybe they want the focus to be on the music rather than their image, unlike most other pop artists.
