This poster for the clash is a very simple design for a punk flyer. The colour scheme is very unilateral, with it being mono colour with red. This choice of colours is very good for them, as it helps to show them as being clear thinkers, seeing stuff in black and white, and the red helps to show passion in their beliefs, as well as anger towards the establishment. This is very important in punk ideologies, because it means that they are dedicated to not just punk music, but to the punk movement as well.
The poster shows the band predominantly, helping the audience to feel closer to the band and great relate to them. The clothing they are wearing in the picture is generic and indiscernible, which is strange considering the strength which which punks went out of their way to look different. Because of this, I think it is a very interesting point for their views on establishment, because it shows that they can be punk without looking punk, thus allowing for more “credibility” with a greater audience, and therefore more potential for more people to listen to their music and have it's innate message heard.
The font used on here is different for the band name as it is for the rest of the information. The significance of this is that because the band aren't making themselves apparently different, by picking a stylised font for their band name and a more mundane font for their information, they have effectively made themselves stand out by proxy of their name.
