Analysis of Magazine Adverts

Chase and Status

It is clear the the bright yellow text is to catch their target audience's eye as it is against a black and white background. As you can tell, the artist is not featured in the magazine advert. This is quite common in the dance/electronic genre of music as it gives a mysterious vibe. What I like about this magazine advert is that it doesn't give too much away. You can interpret this advert in different ways. For me, the theme comes across as angry due to the bulldog being in the background and the base of the advert. This caught my eye as although there is a lot of text, it is simple in terms of it's colours and background.

The XX

This magazine advert created by another media student stood out for me due to the picture. It comes across as an urban, abandoned area which makes the theme seem like loneliness. Just like the Chase and Status advert, the simplicity of this really stood out for me as there is only a little bit of text with the picture as the main focus. I like how the text isn't too big but is just the right size. The fact that the artist's name is in the biggest font allows the target audience to know who the magazine advert is for. I also think that the rating of the album is effective as it is a good selling technique.

Delilah

I love this magazine advert as what really caught my eye was the triangle around Delilah's body. For me, it really outlines her body on the advert and makes her stand out. I also like how she is the only colour of the magazine advert whilst the rest of the advert is black and white. The fact that all of the reviews are scattered underneath her on the advert is a good selling technique to persuade the target audience to buy her album. I also like how the ratings are highlighted in white too. For me, the big font at the top of the page makes me want to read everything else which is at the bottom. The theme comes across as love as she is holding herself while her eyes are closed which could suggest a 'self love'.
