Magazine Advert (Morgan)

Magazine Adverts

Similar to CD covers magazine covers feature texts and an image.

This recent edition of XXL (right)  features a cover artist (Kendrick Lamar) amongst texts around him including his name in bold branded most centrally to the magazine cover.

Next to him on the right hand side lies a collection of names of other artists and topics to be mentioned inside the magazine such as Rick Ross, Ty Dolla Sign and Bryson Tiller.










Similarly to magazine covers, this is a prime example of a promotional poster for the release of an album.

It features the artist (Plan B) to the bottom right of the page, accompanied by the album name and tour dates beneath it in smaller text.

Text is minimal and only key information is included, this makes the content more eye catching and effective as it's simple and gets across its message.

To the right is another issue of XXL this time featuring cover artist Jay-Z regarding his album , 'The Blueprint 3' which officially dropped on the 8th September 2009.

The cover is effective as it has the subject central and he can be seen towering above New York City amongst other sky scrapers.

Similarly both covers are peppered with Red and stick to neutral colours, white, black and grey.
