Conventions of a Magazine Album Advert

By Hannah Spooner

Main Conventions

Make the name of the Album and band clear.

Making the date of the album release clear.

Using the Album cover picture on the advert.

Keeping the advert simple, with minimum writing.

Having cohesive typography, meaning you use the same type face on each piece of the product. (advert and digi-pak)

The point in having a range of promotional platforms is to get the songs/album to a wide range of people.

This Plan B advert is a good example of using little information, but enough for the audience to understand.

This advert also has a rating chart from top magazines and newspapers. This is common on adverts and some also have quotes from magazines or newspapers.
