Research for magazine album adverts

To gather information to create a realistic magazine advert, I decided to research other magazine adverts and see what the conventions are. Therefore, I will be able to compare both adverts with their albums and see what they all have in common. 

'The Vines' 

Magazine Advert:

Album Cover: 

 'Noah and The Whale'


Magazine Advert:

 Album Cover:

• After analysing both the products, I have found that they in fact have many things in common:

• Capital letters for the artist - To allow focus to fall on the important information
• Release date - Very key as this is showing the audience when to buy the album
• The albums and magazine adverts have the same styling and images - This is to connect both the products together
• Some of the singles that are included in the album are listed on the advert - This is to show people what is included, so if they like the singles, they are more likely going to buy the album
• Reviews are also included with in the poster - Again to show the audience positive feed back and why they should buy the album
• The fonts are very complimentary to the album and magazine advert
