Back Page magazine Advertisements

This is a back page advertisement of the Kasabian and their new album.It has all the typical conventions of a advertisement as it has the release date (28th August)The image on the advertisement is the same image that is the cd cover, this use of intertexuality allows the audience to associate the two of them together, and makes it easier to find the album that they are looking for if they wish to buy it.There is also reviews at the bottom from NME and Uncut, this is a justification that it is a good album and one that you should buy.

The advertisement for The Killers album- Day & Age, uses the same artwork as the cd front cover. This again makes it easy to associate the album that is new and to buy.It says ‘Featuring the single human’ this use of marketing, makes the album more popular and commercial as more people are likely to buy an album if it features a song that they know and like.There is a use of cross media convergence at the bottom with the use of a link to the website, this allows the reader to find out more about the album on a different media level.

This advertisement art is also the same to the Rihanna- Rated R album.The font used is also of the same theme, and colours to the rest of the artwork. Words in red are the names of Rihanna’s new singles, this allows them to stand out more and makes it more likely that the album will be bought because of these songs. The advertisement also follows legal requirements as it has a parental advisory sign on to show that the album may have explicit content.
