The document discusses the elements and conventions of magazine advertisements for music albums. It analyzes the student's magazine advert for an album, which adheres to most conventions by including the artist's name, album title, and image in a consistent font across materials. However, it does not include the album's release date. The advert provides information about the album and where to purchase it, and features the record label logo. An image of the album art and a quote from another publication add intertextual references.

6. Functions of a Magazine Advert
The functions of a magazine advert is to:

- Sell the album
- Eye catchy and stand out

7. My magazine advert
adheres to most of the
conventions in which it
should include

8. My magazine advert does
not have a release date on
it. This was a flaw in which I
realised and it doesn’t
portray an actual date to the
audience about when the
album is being released. This
was a convention that I did
not adhere to.

9. A convention that I did adhere
to was the name of the artist
being on the magazine advert.
It is in the synergetic font that I
have used throughout my
different products; it appeared
in my digipak and my main
product therefore creating a
strong image for the star.

10. On the magazine advert I
have also included the album
name which is one the of the
most important things as the
magazine advert is trying to
sell the album. It is clear and
in the same font throughout
all my products, again
creating synergy.

11. Another element of
conventions that I have
adhered to is having a clear
image, which shows the star
image in a strong image. From
the music video she is
represented as a strong
independent woman and she
needs to be reflected this way
consistently.

12. I have a lot of information at
the bottom of my magazine
advert, which also brings
intertextuality as I included a
quote from Q magazine, which
features on my digipak being
synergetic. It gives details
about where to buy the album
and the artists website.

13. At the bottom of the magazine
advert there is also a small
image of the front pane of the
digipak itself, which shows the
audience what the album really
looks like. This adheres to
conventions and also the
magazine advert has the record
label logo on it to.
