Magazine Advert 2

This is my second magazine advert. As you can see it is quite different to the last magazine advert that I produced. The reason for this is because from looking at previous magazine adverts that I analysed, sometimes in order to appeal to audiences and attract them to look at a magazine advert, it needs to be simple and to the point. Therefore that is why I have created this particular magazine advert.

I have used red to make the key parts of the text stand out, the trials of the past and artists name is therefore the most obvious thing on the advert, also the font size for this is larger. In the bottom right hand corner and top (centre) I have used smaller black font, which fits in nicely with the background making it seem eary and creepy, which matches the genre and the generic conventions that will be seen in our music video.

Finally I have added a rating to the advert, this is because I noticed that a lot of magazine adverts include these sort of things on them. Also this links in with the uses and gratifications model as they would read and hear about the album being good, and so in order to be entertained they would then want to listen to this single. Also it could tie in with the idea that the two step flow model presents to an audience suggesting that we are influenced by what other people who we admire like. Therefore if someone says it's good, it could persuade an audience to then listen to the single.

Overall this magazine advert was designed in mind of other successful magazine adverts. By doing this, I hope that this magazine advert could be published in music magazines and other types of magazine and inform people of the new single and hopefully persuade them to come and buy the single or watch the music video. Therefore, the magazine advert is important as it is a media product that sells other media products such as the music video, the single, the album and even concerts.
