When researching and analysing magazine adverts, I came accross a number of codes and conventions used:
- ARTIST/BAND NAME -close up for artist, longshot for band
- NAME OF ALBUM - prominent
- WEBSITE FOR FANS - minimalistic
- REVIEWS - sell line from a popular music magazine, usually rated out of 5 stars
- CD COVER ON ADVERT - to show continuity
- WHERE TO DOWNLOAD - e.g. iTunes logo
- DATE RELEASED - e.g. OUT NOW
The Artist/Band often look directly into the camera and are dominant throughout the splash of the advert.
The text is usually on the top and bottom of the advert however the image dominates
The text contrasts and clearly stands out against the rest of the advert
