Transcript of album magazine advert analysis
The name of the band and album are in a large font, to stand out
The mise-en-scene of the four polaroid pictures tie in fantastically with the indie rock genre of this band
The 4 pictures also introduce the band members to people who perhaps wouldn't’t know them. Or for people who do, it makes it easily recognisable for their fans
The review from ‘NME’ magazine- a well known magazine in the indie rock world- is typed in capitals to attract the audience
The band’s record label is presented at the bottom of the magazine to advertise the record company
3 singles from the album are listed towards the bottom of the magazine, to give the audience a taste of what is in their new album
The white colour also contrasts the dark background, so emphasises it further
The pictures are significant because each band member is holding their acoustic instrument, which shows the public that they produce acoustic, indie, music- which could set them apart from other ordinary bands
The dark background is effective as it fits their genre of music, for example pop music would have bright colours but this indie genre is more dark and muted
The magazine advert is very simple, and not much is going on, which highlights the most important aspects of it- the band name, album name and the images
There are no social media sites shown in the advert, which are usually located at the bottom, this is unusual, however it may represent the band’s unique and original style
