Magazine advert analysis By Sam R-S

The name of the lead guitarist and artist is at the top of the page in large block font. This makes it very prominent on the advert. The featured people that are playing with the artist are in a smaller bannered font underneath. All the font on the poster is the same just in different sizes

The main image of the album is in the middle of the page and is the first thing that you would notice when looking a the advert. The image also contains the guitar that Slash uses that has become a familiar symbol of the artist. It is also easy to discern the type of genre that the music is due to the symbolism in the image. There is an electric guitar being straddled by two females and some snakes. One female an angel and one a demon. Girls, potentially fatal animals and religious references are some of the conventions of hard rock.

The advert is more concerned about selling the concert tickets than the album. The dates and locations of the events are at the bottom in bigger font than the actual name of the album. This is a convention of rock as the concerts are usually more prominent than the album release

Availability of the album and record label information at the bottom.

The artists name is in large font which takes up half of the poster. The album name is underneath this and also in very large font.

The style is very minimalistic and all the information is about the artists image and album.

All we are told is that we can pre order the album, there is no other information other than the album artwork and the title of the album.

Similar to the style of The Pretty Reckless poster, this has a very minimalistic design.

The artists name is at the top in their signature font. The entire poster is the album cover design.

At the bottom AM can be interpreted as an abbreviation of Arctic Monkeys. It could also be referencing the frequency AM due to the sound wave above it.

The date of the album release is at the bottom, along with the names of featured artists and a reference website people can visit.This poster is different to the others as the artist name and album name are in the middle of the page.

Another simplistic poster. Mostly comprised of the album art with the artist name and album name in the middle. The album name Intimacy is reflected in the image of two people with lips almost touching suggesting the songs may have a theme of love.

The name of the artist is at the top of the page in blood style writing. In the centre is the album image, it is a person in a skeleton costume. These two things show us that the possible genre of the material is probably rock or metal.

The name of the album is below the artwork, the release date of the album is underneath along with the featured artists and the various formats and editions that the album will be available in.

There is an iTunes symbol showing that it is available for digital download.
