Magazine Adverts

This music advert is one I found in NME magazine, a music magazine associated with punk rock bands. It is for a single by Fall Out Boy, the focal image is of the band standing behind what seems to be some sort of machinery by looking up I can identify that they are standing behind a window. It is as if they are standing this way like they are hidden away and wanting to invite the audience to buy the single.After watching the video of this single, I found out that the band are making a statement similar to the statement they made in their video which was about the emo/punk rock scene and the competitive music industry.



The band members are all posing in different directions, showing that each individual member is different in their own style and personality, I think they are also standing this way showing their importance in the band for example the lead singer is standing right at the front.The lighting isn't very clear, so doesn't highlight their faces well, suggesting that the band have attittude similar to other rock/punk bands, they are represented as being a typical punk rock band standing solemnly.The font colour is white on a blue background, I think this matches well attracting the audience instantly which comes to a big advantage as people will be able to spot the advert easily when reading through a magazine.



The action line at the bottom which isn't in bold letters like the album title but can be seen clearly to give the audience information of where to purchase and download the single.





Kids in Glass Houses Magazine Advert


I found this magazine advert for Kids in Glass Houses particularly interesting, I thought this because it is very visually attractive. The font of green and red compliment each other well, the red looks quite stark. The white writing on the left hand side looks sophiscated and italic type title of 'Kids in Glass Houses' empotimises what a rock album should look like.


The main image focus is a red lolly with mouth titled open, the red is very bold and dominants the cover even though the only red is on the lolly and the womans nails, together they work extermely effectively as they constrast together well.


The album name is 'Smart Casual' the woman on the cover excudes but has a casualness of licking the lolly. The picture is an enlarged copy of their album cover making it easy for the audience to identify the album when wanting to buy it. The ratings at the top are always postive as they enhance the audience appeal, these ratings will enchance the audiences appeal as they are from well etablished rock magazines.
The advert is very bold and has vibrant, exciting colours that will attract the audiences attention.
