This advert for Green Day's '21st Century Breakdown' features the album cover in the centre, depicting a couple kissing, but it's graffitied onto a wall in black and white, similar to the art of Banksy. The male appears to be Billie Joe Armstrong, who is the lead singer. The wall is faded to black around the edges, but the centre is a fiery orange colour. The font is consistent throughout, matching the graffiti style of the album. The use of the term 'Wait Is Finally Over' implies that the album was in the works for a long time. It advertises the album by displaying that the single 'Know Your Enemy' is on the album, which is the most effective way to promote albums. The colour palette seems to signify danger, as the contrasting red and black are often staple colours of darkness and adversity, the fact that the artwork is graffiti, a common trait of rebellion and stereotypical associated with teenagers, which are the primary audience for bands such as Green Day.
