magazine advert analysis

 The first magazine advert I will be analysing is an advertisement for Rage Against the Machines anniversary album, the magazine consists of a black ground and a picture of their album cover, this reflects the type of music they make because they want to make a statement in the music they produce and it is also good at attracting attention because the album cover shows a monk being burned which would catch anyone's eye. The writing on the magazine advert is also good at attracting attention because its written in big white letters and it is easy to read. It follows the genre conventions of political rock because it contains an image referring to a major incident in this case a protesting monk, most political rock albums would usually contain a reference to something major.

The second advert is an advertisement for the Savage heart. This advert doesn't include a shot of the album, instead it uses the same photo used in the album cover, this helps to make the album more recognisable because if the audience see the album in the shop, they'll think back to the advert if they have seen it. There are also a couple of reviews which would help attract an audience. The colours of the fonts are written in different colours so its easier to read so the audience can remember what was written on the advert.

The 3rd advert is an advertisement for a musical rendition of War of the Worlds. It includes pictures of aliens on the album. The advert places a lot of emphasis on the New generation/interpretation, using it as a unique selling point in order to attract a new audience. The names of the artists included in the album are written below the tag line, this helps the audience identify who is the track. The advert follows the same colour scheme as the album, this helps the audience identify a link more clearly.
