This cover uses the a picture of Frank himself being portrayed as a saddened clown to convey the message of this album being for those who are depressed and lonely. The colors are also muted so that they show no sign of vibrancy or happiness.

Das Undbild is a collage that was created in 1919 by a German painter named Kurt Schwitters. Although Schewitters had a style of expressionism, his style collided with the new Dadaism movement that was approaching. Therefor he was able to have a distinct style of emotion and abstractness that is mostly distinguished in his collages.

The really interesting thing about this poster is although the movie was made in 2005 ,the style of the poster resembles a 1950-60 style poster such as Saul Bass designs. Using this characteristic lets the viewer know the movie will have a storyline during this era of time. The colors and symbol of the fire strongly suggest drama while the guitar symbolizes the musician. This poster also conveys that this will be a story of one mans life by placing a single man as the central focus.

The colors in this poster strongly suggest a story of hope because the colors range from dark into the light( light at the end of the tunnel). The rain is a symbol of the tragedies of life raining down, but he is able to stand against it and face it. The designer does a nice job of placing one man on the poster instead of several because this can amplify the strength of one man.
Modern
The designer places a scene from the movie onto the poster to suggest fantasy and compassion. Placement of the words have a strong movement along the entire page. The main color yellow is conveying a happiness while the slight red inscribes a hint of spookiness.
