A2 Media - Album Adverts

This album advert featured on the back of a terroizor magazine and seen from the actual advert itself it has a slightly different format to the previous ones I have uploaded. With this advert once again the name of the band is clearly shown across the top of the page, as to it being the first thing to be noticed/read. The difference with this advert however is that of the size of the digipak being advertised, here the picture of the digipak takes up the majority of the page showing a different approach in which to take for the album advert. The paragraph at the bottom of the advert simply describes the band and the influences the band have used and why they have produced the album while doing so in a interesting style in order or perhaps entertain or amuse the reader.

This advert is not actually for an album but for a series of tours, however due to the sparsile nature of adverts being found online I felt this would be appropriate to upload as well bearing in mind that it is an advert in a metal magazine and so would conform to the conventions of adverts advertising metal bands. Firstly as ever the band name it sprawled directly across the top of the page as always this obviously being a convention of adverts of this genre. This advert however does something a little different, while it has the main information like the tour dates (on ours that will be the digipak) it shows the band at the bottom rather than artwork which is a possibility for us as it would be more accessible than acquiring artwork to the quality of some of the adverts.

Once again this advert differs again from most others that I have uploaded, this one like all the others does have the band name at the top of the page like all the adverts do. However this one does not feature a confirmed picture of what the album looks like it simply has a piece of artwork that, most likely, will be associated with the album and so allow the audience to link the two and realise it is the same piece of work by the same band. An interesting note on this album is that it included the date of release a lot heavier that the other adverts, this could be that the album digipak has not been produced yet or some other reason perhaps that they do not need to show as it will resemble the background of the advert itself too well.
