London Calling – The Clash
The pink and green typography is copied from a Elvis Presley’s debut album, and the black and white photograph was taken at The Palladium in New York City 21st September 1979. It shows Paul Simonon smashing his Fender Precision Bass on stage.
The Clash is a punk band, and the song we are using is by a band of the same genre. This means that the same conventions apply for the White Light Parade.
The photograph on the Clash’s London Calling album signifies the rebellious influence punk music has, as the photograph shows anger and aggression of punk music. The photograph is also in shallow focus so that you are concentrating on the bassist smashing his guitar. The typography looks informal, as the letters are slanted and in bright vibrant colours.
