Magazine Album Advertisement

The advertisement is

for an album that is

from the rock genre.

This can be told by the

images and the colours

used.

The main feature colours

used on the

advertisement are black,

white and red. These

colours have

connotations of danger

and darkness, with the

white used against the

black background to

make the most important

information on the

advert standout such as

the albums name and the

release date.

The fonts that have

been used are very

simple, bold and easy to

read.

The image that has

been used is very

detailed. The image

appears to have a

contrast between

good and evil or

possibly heaven and

hell. This follows the

usual conventions of

a rock album. The

image used has been

drawn rather than

taken which is the

opposite too albums

coming from genres

such as pop who

usually advertise the

artist on the cover.

The image is in the primary optical

area on the page. The varied use of

colours makes the image stand out

against the black background. The

viewers will be drawn to the picture

which has the artists name framing

it.

Buzz words are used on the advert such as

“INCREDIBLE” and “SPECIAL” making it come across as

more desirable to the audience the company is aiming

its product at.
