Magazine Ads Research

The main image on the magazine advert should follow the same colours and image themes as the album cover this is usually seen due to the images been taken for the album cover and the magazine ad are similar in many ways due to them usually be taken on the same shoot as each other. However the image on the magazine ad is different in some ways for example the image has been enhanced or only a proportion of the image is used of the same mage and it follows the same colour patterns of the album cover artwork.

The largest text on the magazine ad will be the artists name and commonly the second largest text will be the albums name or title and usually features below the artists name on the page and usually the advert will have an 'includes' list somewhere on the image and there will be a popular track list on the advert too sometimes with a bonus track added in there too.  What is also very common in the way that some digipaks have the artists image or bands image on the front cover of the album as well as the inside of it for example this one of wretch 32, this is a good way of presenting the digipak but we feel that this idea doesn't

suit the style of our artist or genre.
