In a lesson we all learned to be media detectives and we were shown how to break down an image and find more meaning to pictures and forms of media. This particular form of media is a tour poster for the band Muse. The style is clear and it is a western theme, and in my opinion it is a wanted poster design. I think the theme of a western wanted poster clearly shows the American location is a big part of the poster. I  also think that the American theme of the poster is smart as the audience for a performance in America would be Americans. One other part of the poster I think is important is the way the picture of the band members are portrayed, and they are shown as a all black drawing. This of course ties in with the wanted poster theme but I also think this shows them in a way to be a rock band possibly with a rebellious or criminal reputation .  Lastly I think that calling the fans part of the resistance is also another clever part of the poster because that might create a bigger and more committed fan base as they might be seen as a rebellious fan base. This could also bring in more fans to create a bigger audience.
