This is my analysis on magazine adverts of artist albums.

1. Magazine Album Advert Analysis

2. The image is in black and
white and almost faded out
to the back. The artist is
covering her right eye while
staring directly in to the
camera with the other. This
image represents the artist as
dominant, strong, confident,
and fearless.
The font/lettering of the advert is
pitched perfectly for the targeted
audience. It is both bold and
attractive letting the audience
know that this album is what they
are looking for. The colour red is
used to attract the audiences
attention, informing them the hit
singles that are included in her
album.
The artist fits into the genre
of R’n’B. This is signified by
the main image which
expresses sass, dominance
and confidence which are
attitudes and values that
associate with this genre.
The most dominant
colours are black and
white. The colour white
connotes purity and
completion where as
black connotes secrecy.

looking front as well as her body
facing the camera.
