I will need to examine an example of an album advert taken out of
a magazine because I will be required to generate my own for my
project. The band I have decided to scrutinize is Kasabian, but I
am uncertain as of what magazine this advertisement comes from
due to getting this image off the Internet. The advertisement is for
the album “Empire” that is more of an alternative rock genre.
The magazine advert for the album “Empire” by Kasabian is very
much typical of what you would generallyacquaintance with the
band. The first thing that people will be able to notice is the
colossal “KASABIAN” title in the middle. The purpose of this is to
hook the attention of the audience and give them an indication of
who the advert is about immediately. The style of the font that is
used is most commonly known with Kasabian. It also matches with
the house style of the king card in the background with the black
writing.
The image in the background is of a male and anexposed female.
The man seems to look very formidable and rich which you could
associate with the album name “Empire”. He also seems to be in
red ropes like some sort of emperor that is also associated with
“Empire”, like a kings empire. The male also seems to be holding a
nude girl. There could be numerous behind this, one of them being
that the Kasabian fan base is predominantly male, it could interest
boys more, you know, a naked girl. But this could also put a female
fan off purchasing the album. Although, the woman could just
epitomize the supremacy of the male in the image; again
intertwining with the album name “Empire”.
