A2 media studies poster analysis

1. Madonna’s album cover doesn’t fit within the
genre of music I decided but the image really
stood out to me. The use of using more then
one image within her face really captures the
audiences attention. The use of the pinks,
purples, and blues massively captures the
eyes of the public as they’re bright and bold.
Also, the use of the black lettering on the
white really captures peoples attention due to
the bold colours and the capitalised font is a
great way to advertise the product. In this
case, Madonna has nicely performed this.
Furthermore, the use of the pink ‘Celebration’
also stands out as it links back to the colours
within her face. This overall connects the
whole poster, as the background is black and
it brings the whole image together as it makes
everything else stand out.

2. This album cover states the artists name
‘RIHANNA’ and the name of her new album
‘LOUD’.
Firstly, we are all informed that her album is
out now due to it saying it. Also there are
names of some of her singles she has realised
from her new album, familiarising the
audience with the music we have already
heard from her. This text has been printed on a
red background to make it stand out more
from the photographs presented.
All the lettering is written in clear capitals and
has been made to stand out for the audience
to be able to read and recognise the content of
the poster. The use of the small CD cover gives
us a preview which allows us to know what we
are looking out for when deciding to buy the
album.
Lastly, the colour red is used a lot in this
advert, clearly. Red could massively respect
romance, sexuality and or danger. This could
give us an idea what her album is going to be
about overall.

3. We witness the name of the artist placed at the top of the poster which
shows contrasting colours as its important to be able to get the attention of
the audience. Furthermore, this is also the first glance to sell the artist
straight away. In which has been portrayed very well on this poster. We then
can see the website and company for the product purchasing displayed for
advertising purposes.
The picture as a whole fills the majority of the page. Lana Del Rey is wearing
red lipstick, which possibly matches her hair colour which stands out to the
audience. As shown, the title of the album is in a bold text, clearly smaller
than the artist name but has still been portrayed to show the importance.
The album release date and statement of popular songs has been printed
on the front to inform the buyers when they can purchase it. Lastly, the logo
of company has been involved for recognition.
