Research for Magazine Advert

A lot of albums get advertised in magazines and often use a whole A4 page within it. The advert for the album usually uses images very similar, if not the same to the actual album cover which will then stick in their mind meaning it's a very successful way of promoting an album. Here some examples of magazine adverts for albums :

As you can see from Ellie Gouldings album - Lights the exact same image that was used on the album cover has been used for the advertisement, all they have done is add some good reviews and release date information at the bottom to let people know when and how they can get the album.



Gwen Stefani's album- Love Angel Music Baby also uses the same image on the advert as it does on the album, however it doesn't use the whole image only a section of it.







































Kings of Leon and Biffy Clyro are two bands in the similar genre of ours and these are more examples of how they use the same image in the adverts as the album cover which proves that it not just particular genres that do this.

By looking at all of these i plan to use the same image that i used for the front cover as the main image for the advert, and then put some information at the bottom including short, one lined reviews and release date information.
