Magazine Advertisement For A

New Album

The advertisement selling the album or single of the artist should have the artist starring in it, he, she or they should be main focus in the middle bold and large to be noticed by the public and audience they are targeting. The main image should follow the same theme as the album cover, this is because they use the same photos from the album photo shoot to advertise the selling product also linking both products together and making it clear to their target audience.

The main photo will be slightly different whether the artist is in a different position or it’s been enhanced by editing but the image will follow the same colour scheme as the other photos from the album cover.

The largest text on the advertisement will be the artists or bands name, making it clear and bold who’s single or album is being advertised. Their name will also be in the same font they always use, their own font. The second largest text will be the name of their album or single and the words ‘’New Album’ will feature somewhere on the advertisement showing it’s new and not an old album being re-advertised.

It will also show the artists number ones which are included on the album, other artist featuring on the album, new songs, bonus songs and features. It might also include the artist/bands website and label name.
