The Killers - Day and Age Poster Analysis

I am researching adverts for CD's and albums, to find out how to correctly promote my band.  And I have come to the conclusion that most adverts in magazines are just a larger image of the album cover itself. It manages to promote the product with a recognisable image.This allows direct correlation between the poster and the box art.


The words "Day & Age " are portrayed in the box art using  an aboriginal style of art. The moon in the sky represents a juxtaposition of the "Day" and the foliage on the floor looks like a desert. In their video for their single "Human" the main setting is the desert. But the lack of civilization in this image also may represent a previous age before humans got there.
