Poster research

Biffy Clyros poster

Biffy Clyros album 

From looking at Biffy Clyros album and poster we can see that he has used the exact same image from the album but just extended it and added tour dates and a few other conventions a poster. He has just taken the iconography from his album artwork and placed it on a separate page. He has then added the title and his name in the same typography but in a different size font than the album to make it stand out more. He has decided to extend it to a landscape photo and added the tour dates and the information about his album etc on the right hand side still in the same font so that it fits the conventions of a poster. 
You can see in many other artists album and poster artwork, that they have literally just taken the same photo from their album and used as the main photo for their poster as well. For example, Everything Everything and their album 'Arc'. They used the same photo and just extended their poster to a portrait photo and added the tour dates etc at the bottom.
