Research: magazine adverts


I found this advert by previous students really believable, the fonts are clear and crisp and also stand out and look like very professional rendition. The logo with the tongue can be used as a synergistic element as everyone would recognise the rainbow and lips, furthermore the colours have connotations of happiness and are all primary colours which would catch your eyes very quickly, the thick outline would also create a border emphasising and simultaneously make it all stand out.

It also reminds me of previously established artists e.g. 'WSTRN' with their pop-arty font and design. The name of the artist should be the main focus of the advert or the logo to be instantly recognisable. Seeing different versions of Album Adverts, it always has the artist as the forefront of the cover, usually as fans would recognise the moniker first then the artwork, then the album.

It also conforms with other newly released albums as it has a full colour page with release and streaming services to see it.

Wombats has their name on the forefront. It is big and bold and is the most eye-catching words on the page as they're established as a band and would want to draw fans to it. 

Next there is an nme page of an advert I found this week.
This also conforms to modern adverts as it has the artists name in bold, the album name and reviews from other interviewers/magazines. However I found it very lacking as it had minimalistic colour, style and doesn't even shows the genre so in my opinion its not a very good advert. If it was from a well known band the minimalist advert could work in it's favour however I haven't heard of the artist so the advert doesnt give me any information about her.

The same style was used for Jessie J; a more well known artist and it succeeds very well as we al know it would be a pop genre album as it has conventions of he singer in the front with a bold, clear moniker.
