Magazine analysis of adverts

The 1st advertisement was found on a page of NME from the image above we can see that there are actualy 2 albums advertised on this page. One of the was for GRUFF RHYS the other is for slash. On the advertisement for slash there is the price clearly displayed in the bottom right hand corner and also a few of the selected tracks on the centre left of the page.

The GRUFF RHYS advertisement is alot more simplistic than the slash advertisement. Because of the name of the album being called hotel shampoo the main bulk of the advert is taken up as a cabinet filled with shampoo. There is no prices or names of tracks on the advertisement just that it is available for downloading and on CD.

This is an advertisement from the kerrang magazine. This advertisement was on the very back page of the magazine and took up the whole space. Although the background is mainly white there is a large painted like picture of what appears to be a man. In the bottom right hand corner of  the magazine we can see that there is also an advertisement for amazon where this album can be purchased from. The name of the band is elbow and is jut below centre of the advertisement. We can also see the name of the album and the date of its release. There is a comment from Q and a few tracks found on the album.

This magazine advert was also out of NME and was actually found on an album advertisement page in the centre of the magazine. The artist is called June Tabor and the album is called ashore. The main bulk of the advert is made up of writing and reviews of the album itself. At the bottom of the page there are 2 advertisements for a record company with there websites below. The actual image of the album is very small on the page and the background behind the writing is of the sea, this is mainly because of the name of the album 'ashore'.

This album advertisement was found in Q magazine. it is from a band called THE LOW ANTHEM and the album is called smart flesh. The actual picture of the album is very small and is placed on the centre left of the page. The advertisement takes up the whole of an A page on the magazine and also consists of an advertisement from hmv, above the hmv logo it says available at. Below the picture of the album there are reviews from magazines and music channels promoting the album. The background image is of a what appears to be a rundown factory. 

This album advertisement took up the whole page.It is quite a dull-looking advert as the colours used are very bland. This presents the album as looking bleak and old fashioned. The style comes across as being in the form as a menu. There are tour dates listed at the bottom of the page and just below that is a black and white picture of the band. The picture of the digipak is in the centre of the page with the release dat to the right of it. The image on he album is of a very classical ballroom with two people dancing. The album is calledTHE UNTHANKS.

This advert for the band beady eye was found in NME and was in the centre page of the magazine. The background image that takes up the whole page is a high to low image of the band looking down. This could be to show there dominance and power in the music industry. Next to the name of the band at the top of the page is NEW in bright bold text. the name of the album is place just below centre in the advert. the date of the release of the album is in really large text on the left hand side of the image.
