Magazine Advert Research

I looked in to the stereotypes of magazine adverts. I found that most of the adverts main image was the CD cover, another way some artists advertise is by having an image that is a larger version of the CD cover and then have a copy of the CD cover small at the bottom of the page. Something that is always on the advert is the release date and the name of the artist. Aspects that are sometimes shown in magazine adverts are comments from newspapers and different record labels, as well as web addresses, pricing, special features and logos.

As part of our Magazine poster we will be relating it to the style that the music video will be in With the idea of the band members being in crazy outfits with bright make-up on. The back up dancers will be stood slightly back from the main character. They will all be looking to the side of the camera. We are thinking about having the picture in black and white with the main character in colour to show contrast between the back up dancers and the main character. They will each be wearing sunglasses which will have a cityscape 'reflecting' in them. We have not decided weather this cityscape will be black and white or have colourful lights in.
