MUSIC MAGAZINE ADVERT RESEARCH



Here are some examples of magazine adverts for albums and tour dates. You can see the trending theme is how they have images of the album cover. This allows for audience to know what to look out for when buying the album or tour date ticket in the shops. They also match what we have done for our magazine advert through incorporating bright colours in order for it to stand out. As you can see in the Yolanda Brown advert especially. As you can see on the Rodrigo and Gabriela magazine advert it establishes who they are through the cover image of them posing. This allows the audience to easily understand who they are. They also include an image of their album artwork for audience, along with HMV and a price where they can buy the album specifically. You can also see top right how the album cover is shown in the advert. Adverts also seem to be half text and half image, this way it can stand out and look good but at the same time give enough information about the album for the audience to know about it. The adverts also have the bands specialised fonts. This way people can associate the writing with the band, some fonts really stand out with the band name such as SBTRKT advert. We hope to use our own font which will match with our themes of colour and surreal patterns. It will also have to stand out on the advert.
