Analysis of Album cover

As you can see on these typical album covers for 'The Clash' they all follow the same theme. They consist of black and white images and red writing. This is very typical in the punk genre as the colours portray the image of anarchy. The red suggests danger as well as love. This portrays the idea that their music is risky but they have a love for the music they are creating. The use of the photo of the band is very typical for this genre and many other album covers. It allows them to create a brand image for them selves and not just their music
