Using Kerrang's website to browse for examples of magazine advertisements for new albums
Using Google to skim through and find examples of magazine advertisements similar to my genre
Above: A double page spread on Muse, however this example is not an album advertisement
A single page magazine advertisement for a new album by Green Day
Having conducted research, I compiled a list of common factors that regularly crop up in these advertisements:
- Mid shots or close ups of the singer of the band, and possibly the rest of the band too
- An image of the album cover
- Release date of the album
- The name of the album and the artist
- Logos for shops or websites that will sell the album
Excellent, Ben. This is thorough research with a useful outcome in the form of a set of requirements.
