ANALYSIS OF BAND/ARTIST
MAGAZINE ADVERTS
By Juliana Mariz
Pixie Lott Magazine Advert
I have researched magazine adverts which
features the artist from the song I have
chosen for my music video. This will help
me create my magazine advert as I will
have an idea of what I should include in
order for it to look realistic. Music adverts
include very minimal small features. The
image of the artist takes over the whole
page. Pixie’s fashion trend follows the
genre of pop and what the target audience
might wear., its colourful and stands out as
there is no other blues on the page. Pop
magazine adverts are bright and colourful
which set a cheerful atmosphere. From
analysing this picture I have noticed that for
my advert I need to make sure the lighting
is bright and that my artist is wearing trendy
clothes in order for the target audience to
notice her.
Rihanna Magazine Advert
I have chosen this advert as this is used to
promote her album. Again the artists photo
takes up the whole of page which attracts the
target audiences attention. The use of bright
red may suggest to the audience that the
album may be about love as this is the
connotations of red. This also links in with the
caption used to promote the album ‘ONLY
GIRL (IN THE WORLD)’.However this
contrasts with the name of album which may
suggest something different. The lighting in
the photo has been edited effectively as it
draws the attention to her facial features
which stand out and make her look innocent,
again this contrasts with the name of her
album. The writing used in the advert is
specific and important for the audience. From
this advert I have taken into account to not
writing a lot, just the basic information that the
audience need to know and to make sure that
the main image is effective. This can be done
by using Adobe Photoshop.
Katy Perry Magazine Advert
Finally in this advert,
there is a different layout
which is also eye
catching. However the
artists name is more
noticed when you first
look at the advert, this is
due to it being bold and
big. The background is
quite dull which doesn't
help to sell the album
being released as the
image of the album is
small and blends in with
the background. From
this advert, I may not
being using any scenery
similar to this one in my
advert as it will be quite
hard to add the
information needed.
