Get permission from creators before plagiarising their art within a campaign
The 1975s new album, I Like It When You Sleep, has a distinctive advertisement campaign, featuring neon signs, with song titles displayed upon neon frames, in settings symbolic of the song. The EU campaign leaflet, is strangely similar, with the same neon coloured signs, on said frame, in said place
Created by the same director as one music video from their previous album, Settle Down on The 1975, the whole band and crew feel betrayed and exploited, as their hard work, and unique, creative visions have been associated with a political campaign, which has no relevance to the band, or their music. It is displaying a lack of trust towards their teen fanbase, and a severe breach of copyright.
