Research: Magazine Advert Analysis (Pio George)

Analysis 1

This is the first magazine advert analysis of Jimi Hendrix's album 'Valley of Neptune.'

Conventions seen within the Magazine Advert:

• Artist name.
• Title of album .
• Artists image.
• Release date information.
• Featured songs in the album.
• Where the album is available. 
• Website information.
• Same font used for text.

The magazine advert conforms with the majority of conventions in a magazine advert. However it lacks promotional information from widely known reviewers or mainstream media to increase the amount of promotion. The magazine adverts colour scheme works really well and is effective in attracting audiences and potential consumers. The image of the artist designed in a very unique way and with the different shades of blue brings out the artist face, making it recognizable for audiences and consumers.

Analysis 2

This is the second magazine advert analysis of the band Funeral for a Friend and their album 'Conduit.'

Conventions seen within the Magazine Advert:

• Title of the band.
• Title of album.
• Information of features songs.
• Available on CD's, DVDs and LP. 
• Same font used for text.
• Image of the Digipak
• Image of artist in the band.

The magazine advert conforms with the some of conventions in a magazine advert. The magazine advert lacks website information that the previous magazine advert had. Also the magazine advert does not specify where CD's can be purchased and it says it is available for download, but it does not specify which website has it. The magazine adverts colour scheme works well and attracts audiences and consumers.
