Magazine Album Adverts

Magazine adverts for albums differ slightly magazine to magazine and due to genre of the music they are advertising. But offten keep the same basic layout and style.


some adverts are basic and simple like this one for Rammstein's new album. the advert shows you the band name, album art work & name and date of release. this is the minimum key information to keep it interesting and to the point.



Whilst some adverts give a little more information but still keep it mainly about the visual interest like this one for 'The Chemists' new album which has the art work with the band name, album title and a picture of the actual album on top on the left.


In the middle is the release date and highlights of whats on the CD (people who dont know the album or somthing may see this and reconise a song and potentially buy it)


And on the right is a quote from a review by Kerrang magazine and the record lable ( some people may buy the album because the respect the opinion of the Kerrang reviews or they like other bands on the same lable)


Some adverts for albums rely more on text and less on the visual asthetics of the art work like this Funeral For a Friend one which has a fairly dull picture refrencing the album with the band name/logo and album name.







Then bellow it has quite alot of text information about the album.
