2. The top of the magazine cover
has the name of the artist which
emphasis on the importance
given to star and the name being
used as a brand. Album’s name is
written in same font but is not as
prominent as that of the artist
this again shows the name of the
artist is enough to attract
audience. In the bottom the
release date of the music album
is written in a big size this means
that the audience are being
informed about the day and are
expected to buy it on the same
day it is released.
Rihanna : Loud
There is an image of the album cover of the artist to make people
familiar with the original album cover. As its the promotion of the
artist’s album. We see the mid-shot of the artist sitting in the grass
wearing red dress and also having her hair died chilli red, Red colour
appeals botyh the genders but is more assciated with women who want
to attract men. It is used as an exotic colour in the advert establishing
the red feel of it. The jewellery that she is wearing is not going with
her dress in fact it is more of nomad style of jewellery.
3. This magazine advert shows 3 different
horrizontal sections of lady gaga’s album
promotion the first section shows mid close-
up of lady gaga in short blond hair covering
half of her face with her black jacket staring
right into the camera while the second
section shows her in black long hair with her
eyes closed both the images are totally
different both depicting different things the
former showing her as a strong mysterious
woman and the second showing her as a
weak woman displaying her emotions. The
third section is also black and white just like
the middle section but it has the two
pictures of 2 different sides of lady gaga.
The text is written in 4 different font sizes
emphasising the importance of the text
written by it’s size such as ‘Lady Gaga’ the
name of the artist is written in the biggest
font means that its the most important
thing to be considered then the name of the
album is written in a smaller size than the
artist’s name showing that it is secong most
important thing for the viewers, the review
by Rolling Stone and little information about
album is written in a font that is quite
smaller from that of album’s name and in
the end the availability of the albums is
mentioned in the smallest of text size.
4. This is the magazine advert for Beyonce
who is an american recording artist. It’s
her 4th album thats why it is named ‘4’.
In the advert we can see the artist
standing by the terrace bank into the
sunlight in black clothes that are
exposing most of her body and also
wearing shiny silver heels which shows
her as a fashion icon. She means to
attract women by being a female artist
and nature of her songs are mostly for
females, along with that she is also trying
to attract male audience by exposing of
her body trying to gain their attention. In
background we see a city. There is also a
small picture of the cd cover of
beyonce’s album without any text
explaining the new album by beyonce
this shows how famous the artist is and
she is known for her singing and
continous contribution in the music
industry. The only thing that is written in
text is the name of the artist and album
in bold and large font which denotes that
this is the most important and all the
information one would need to receive
the message delivered.
