An analysis of a magazine advert

The background is
black, which is a
common colour used
within electronica
music.
The cover picture is quite
mysterious and secretive.
This maybe because it’s
their debut album and
people don’t know what to
expect.
The white text on the black
background gives a different
view of their genre. This
album cover isn’t very
representative of the music

been what they wanted to
create, being a debut album.
The picture is quite
plain but that is the
same image as the
album cover.

also representative of
rock music. In which is
album does feature a
combination of rock
and electronica.

electronic artists which features a

for future
viewing.
This magazine advert is good
because it not only represents
the genre of the album but is
the image is memorable for the
reader. Also its minimal colours
and images are just a teasing
compared to how good the
music is. And this is what the
artist would want to achieve.
