Poster analysis

The next poster that I am going to analyse is advertising Green's Day's hit album American Idiot. This poster is identicle to the album cover, with a hand holding up a grenade in the shape of a heart. Both the poster and album cover have back and red themes, and also the same text. This leads me to the idea that the advertisements for albums are very similiar, or exactly the same, to the album cover. This is all for product recognition, for example when you see the poster on the street, the person will instantly recognise is in the shops and want to buy it. Below are both advertisements and album cover for the album.
