Magazine advert research

Before I could start creating my magazine advert I needed to gain inspiration and ideas for the usual conventions of an music advert. Above our some of the examples I gained from my research. A common trend in all of them is the information. They always include the title of the piece and the artist, as well as some information on date of sale and often some comments/reviews about the piece. The mise en scene of the Madonna and Gwen Stefani pieces are bright and colourful which I think is most effective. The Ellie Goulding piece goes with a more iconic, simple feel but I don't feel this is relevant for my piece. From these images above another convention that is seen is the use of a profile of the artist themselves, and this often takes up the majority of the piece.
