Analysis of magazine adverts in detail:

Kings of Leon – Only by the night:

The designer of this advert has used the picture on the front of the CD cover for the advert; this is so it is easily recognizable to the reader/consumer. All the members of the band are in this picture although the designer has mixed in a bird and only used parts of each member’s faces, which gives the image a unique quality. The text is bold and straight to the point, it includes the name of the band, the name of the album, the hit songs that are included in the album that might intrigue consumers and where you can purchase it from, and most importantly when it is out. The overall advert has a quality about it that makes it not mainstream, not something that will interest a small audience but something in between, it is easily accessible to all. The colour’s used gives the advert a vintage/classic look which is an up to date trend surrounding all aspects of the arts.
