Music Magazine Advertisements

I looked in music magazines for advertisements because this is where my advertisement would be put therefore it is correct to search for research in the same place. I mainly found out that they are a lot more minimalistic than I originally thought, this is something I will have to make sure I take into consideration.

Image to do with the music or could be a sketch of the artist. It shows that this music is most likely mainly aimed towards girls because that is who is in the sketch. Also she is looking down and sad which means the music is most likely to be soft music. However she still has a fierce look on her face which shows that she could be a strong female artist like mine.

This is simple font so that it is easy to read when people are just flicking through the magazine, it makes it still readable on a quick glance. It is also in pink which suggests that it is aimed towards a female audience. Furthermore because the colours chosen are white and pink it suggests that this is female oriented music. Finally it is the title of the single so it is at the top so that people straight away know what they’re looking at.

Information about when this single is out so that people know when it can be bought.

Concert date and place so fans know where they can see this artist.

Website information to find out more about this artist.

Bright colourful background of the band, they have chosen to use a happy background to draw attention. They have given it the ‘California dream’ look, this suggests that it is firstly an American band but also shows that their music is most likely lively which is why they have chosen to portray themselves in that way.

Personal invite makes the fans feel more connected with the band.

Intresting font to catch peoples attention however they have still made sure that it is readable. The name of the band is centered so that it is what people first see and know who this poster is for. Also because it is the bands name it is in a larger font than the rest.

Information about where the band is playing so that people have the correct information of where to go and the times. This is helpful to fans and is also something to remember the concert by, by putting the poster on the wall. This is why advertisements need to be eye catching because a lot of fans keep them or put them on their walls.

Sponsers need to be shown on advertisements because they put money into the band so that they can be advertised when the band is. They work by advertising eachother.

The bands album cover is put as the background of this advertisement so that people know who this advertisement is for. It is bright and colourful and suggests interesting music. This also shows that this band can play instruments so they're very into their music and are passionate about what they do.

The bands name is in large block letters that is easy to read. They have put it in a fancy banner to make the advertisement look more arty and interesting.

The colour scheme in this advertisement all tie in together. They have chosen to use purple, white and black colours that constrast but all work together. The purple makes it more brightly coloured however it isn't to over powering.

Virgin Reccords who the band is signed to is advertised at the bottom to show which reccord lable this band is signed to. It also works so that both band and lable advertise eachother.

This is the website to find out more information about the band. There is a website to find out more about the band on nearly all music advertisement, it allows the veiwer to find out more information about tours, the band themselves, contests, about their music and plently more. Because the advertisement only has the most important information this makes sure if the veiwer chooses to then they can find out more.

Here there is added information about the new album. The 'OUT NOW' is in bold darker writing so that people are drawn to the fact they can buy this bands music straight away if they wish to.
