Analysis of artist magazine adverts

This is a magazine advert to promote and inform the audience that Icona Pop are playing at the Capital Pride which is located in USA, as well as this it is also promotes an interview.

The main image is placed in the centre of the page, making sure it gains the attention of the audience at first glance. The colour scheme of black, pinks and beiges not only suit the colour scheme used throughout of the advert but also allow the sell line to reflect of the image, allowing the audience to see it clearly.

The facial express of both the women portray the serious attitude towards their music. The eye contact with one of the girls and the camera makes the audience feel like she is looking straight at them, personalising the advertisement. The mid shot allows the audience to

see the duo’s clothes and accessories, giving them a visual insight into their style, without being told via written words. Ripped shirts, leather jackets and studs all give a feel of and outgoing personality as they make a person stand out in a crowd, making a statement to those around them. This further illustrates and implying what the duos personality is like with out actually stating it themselves.

On of the girls hair, being bright red illustrates a potential fiery and ‘out there’ personality, as red regularly connotes passion (for her music/job) and also danger and rage. Bold and obvious jewellery such big, metal

bangles and bright, fabric bracelets make a statement and reflect of the basic, white background. This conveys that the individual likes to stand out from the crowd and make a statement.
