Magazine Advertisement Analysis

Typical Features of all advertisements;
1) Artists name
2) Album name
3) Website link or email address
4) Background image
5) Band logo if they have one

The Gorillaz Advertisement!
As the album is called 'plastic beach' the font used reflects the name of the album as it looks like it is melting, which could be seen as how hot it is on a beach. Also the name of the band is smaller then the name of the album, which shows that the band is already known and wants their album name to be seen before the name of the band who's album it is. Also the other text that is on the cover is in a more professional that states that it is a 'new' album that's 'out now'. This font and size of it strikes out and attracts the audiences attention which is what the aim of it is. The small writing and website at the bottom also promotes the band as to new fans who are interested in the album may go on the website and the logo at the bottom of the advertisement is seen on all Gorilla's singles and albums, as it is the music company that are connected with them. The sea as a background also reflects the name of the album and gives a tranquil setting to it. The colours of the background and foreground are warm and quiet which again reflects the name of the album and sets the scene to the album.
