Nabila Naznin

Jessie JShe is also placed in

the center and is the

first thing you see due

to the fact that the

purpose is to sell her

image and album.

Her name also stands out

against the black

background as its in a bold

font and written in gold. It

is most prominent because

it’s all about selling her

image. Also it’s bold

relating to her star

construction which is

tough and being brave.

The best track from the

album is stated and facts

about it to sell the album.

The best songs will be

known to audiences also.

The album is very dark as

its based around her

signature black hair.

Because of this the black

background is used to

make the whole advert

look connected. The

black displays her as very

tough and bold which is

part of her image.

center because she is

the main focus. The

out even more.

are stated her as part of

selling.

Magazine are outdated

The problem I found is that it was very hard to find a lot

magazine adverts. This was mainly due to the fact that

they are out dated and record labels do not use them as a

way to sell their albums anymore. The adverts I did find

are from 2009 however despite the age of the adverts it

still allowed me to look at the positioning of texts and

images. I still managed to get a format from the adverts

and examine how they sell albums.
