The album artist and name (Madonna, Celebration) are printed in a large sans serif font at the top of the page, beginning in the primary optical area. They are printed against a grey coloured rhombus shape, which draw more attention in, as the text contrasts with the background.
The image that has been used is a portrait shot of the artist herself. This is a conventional feature of a pop album magazine advertisement, as the actual artist is almost always on the advertisement, to make it easier for the audience to identify the album and artist.
The image is very brightly coloured, using colours of mainly, purple, pink, blue and white. This makes the image more interesting and appealing to the audience. It also makes the advertisement stand out a lot more, as it anchors the audience, and makes them view the advertisement properly.
The record label in which the album is being released on is credited in the top left hand corner, which is the primary optical area. This has been done in order for the audience to recognise the record label. There are many different images within
the main image, which have been edited into some form of collage. This has been done to emphasise the fact that this album is a collection of all of Madonna’s music throughout her years within the music industry. This will appeal to a wider audience as it involves many generations and both the younger and older generation may want to listen to this album.
The release date for this album has been printed in the bottom right corner of the advertisement, which is the terminal area. This has been purposely places here, as the audience naturally look from the top left corner to the bottom right corner, so they will not miss the release date.
A brief summary of the album is printed at the bottom of the advertisement, letting the audience know what to expect from the album. This text has been printed against a grey background, which is contrasting with the colour of the text. It has also been placed within the weak fallow area, as it is not the most important piece of information.
