Looking at “Bastille” Artwork and print work it Is clear they all follow the same simplistic idea. All covers have the same typography. The font for the artists name has the title of the track merged into the name. The interesting part is the “triangle” used in the bastille font and what hidden connotations may be associated with the band. This triangle is used for the letter “A” in both their band name and tracks. So if we were too use the track “These Streets” this triangle would only have to be used in the artists name.

The actual connotations behind the “triangle” used in their artist names has not been announced what it is there for however their audience have rumoured that it is a “Triangle of reference” also known as the “Triangle of meaning” which is a model of how linguistic symbols are related to the objects they represent.

The band however are absent on the artwork. However there are people used on the covers. These characters are both present and absent on the print work. Usually with their back to the camera.

The background image is normally a photo which has been associated with the music video. E.g. “Pompeii” the single print work features a screenshot from the Official Music Video.

The print work is very simple and if we were too create a video for one of their tracks we would have to be aware too carry on the ideas portrayed.

These are four print works of different singles of f the “Bad Blood” album.They all follow the same format of the track name joined into the artists name.

The images in the “Things we lost in the fire” and “Bad Blood” covers is from the official music video .

They also follow through the connotations of the “triangle of meaning”

For the tour posters the print work is also very simple and carries on the ideas portrayed in previous covers and music videos. The typography used for the tour dates is also the same font used in all of their over digi-paks. The layout is also very simple with a background Image and the Artist name placed on the top, with the tour dates at the bottom.

Our print work will be solely decided on what happens in our video. If we keep their theme going, we would have too be aware that the background image is related to our video and our foreground typography is the same as the other digi paks. This is a rough drawn up image of an idea of what the print work would look like if we were too choose the track “These Streets” .

If we were to use this track the typography would be the same as the other print work, as well as using the same triangle to connote the same meta-narratives again.

Artist in the background both present and absent. Back to the camera, screenshot or image related to music video.
