Magazine Advert

Ellie Goulding is wearing a simple black top which fades into the background and emphasizes the lighting. Her name is clear in luminous font, which matches the album name of lights. Underneath is the name of the album and reviews at the bottom, this is conventional of magazine adverts and is simple to follow  as it clearly shows the artist and the album, this is similar to Jessie j’s album advert as  both show the artist and the name of the artist clearly. The reviews have come from magazines and may be smaller as the magazines may not have recognizable names. Goulding's  pose represents her being laid back, indicating the genre of the music to be calming. The font has a Gatsby feel and could represent that the album has a classy, sophisticated  feel to it this also could have been used as it was around the time of the Gatsby film coming out which would have increased its audience. The neon lighting helps the advert to be bold, the colours contrast as it is light on dark and make the font look almost 3-D.  The album cover is the same, apart from the reviews at the bottom, this links the products together, also Goulding being on the cover will help her brand  as she becomes recognizable and people will start to know who she is. Also, the sparkly lighting in her hair and background represents that the music could have a pop feel  as pop is associated with the look and bright colours.

Jessie J is wearing black lace which suggests she is rebellious which could indicate that on the album the music is rocky and alternative. Her name is in gold writing which suggests she is  royal and important. Also,  the font has a gloss to it making it look 3-D, the album name is almost unclear, but matches the picture as Jessie is expressing who she is. Jessie’s pose indicates that she is confident suggesting that the music is going to be edgy with a bit of attitude. The album cover is the same, so the audience will associate these two images. Jessie’s make up is also heavy and expressive giving off an attitudey vibe and indicating that the target audience is teenagers as they are associated with being rebellious and different.   The songs are mentioned on the front as they are singles and the audience could recognize a song name and want to buy the album because they like the song.






This magazine advert is rather simple, suggesting that this band is all about the music and doesn’t need extravagant make overs to advertise their music, this type of advertising also gives an insight into the genre of music as it doesn’t conform to the average advert, suggesting that the music would be rock or alternative. The font of the band is in a slanted, cartoony font which could suggest that their music has a similar feel. The album cover is the same which makes this image recognizable, giving the band a brand. The heart monitor like symbol could represent how the beat in the music correlates with a heartbeat and how music makes you feel alive. Also the white on black makes the advert very clear so it is easy to consume as an audience also there is a harsh contrast of the colours, which catches the readers eye.
