Magazine adverts - Album (Shamima)

Today we looked at some adverts of albums in magazines. Typically the magazine adverts had an image of some sort, whether it was an image of the artist themself or of an object. Also some of the adverts that we looked at had tour dates and dates of when the CD is coming out. Some had links or their own websites. The most common feature that was evident in the adverts were the reviews and ratings the CD had.

We would be taking some elements of the adverts that we had seen, for example there was this one advert that had the artists name in a font that was bigger than the albums name: Steve Winwood.
In a couple of other adverts we had seen, has had some smaller snapshots of the artist as well as a bigger picture of the artist. This I think would be effective to use in our advert, also because we talked about it before and wanted some element of a collage or snapshots. (This was seen in the advert by Weller and Steve Winwood)
The advert by Suzanne Vega had a picture of her (medium shot) with her guitar, which had a shallow focus blur. We had a similar idea of having our actress with her preferred instrument (piano), but with her having eye contact with the audience. This was also seen in Steve Winwoods advert as he was having eye contact with us.
