Magazines are always on the look out to find new potential brands or bands they can feature and advertise in their magazines. The advertisement packs are made to show potential investors what the magazine is really all about e.g the audience, age of the average reader, which class they are in and the genre they target.

Magazine Adverts
Whilst browsing for some inspiration for my Music magazine advertisement I came across a great blog giving advice on colour tips and photo shots of the artist. Using opposite colours of this scale are the ones that most stand out this is used within this ad for Mika's album.
Although I have explored this, Im going to be using dull colours with white text so the names of dates and other important thing will be highlighted.
Magazine conventions -
- Grab Attention - Reviews, Images
- Advertise; - Band Name, Album Name, Release Date, Where its Available, Reviews of Product
- Label
- Website; - Band Official Site, Myspace, Twitter, Facebook
- Audience
- How is the Artist Represented?
- How Successful is it as an Advert?
Features of my Magazine Ad:
- A full page of Kim ( the artist ) with her mug, with the name of her album across it.
- Ill also show the release date for the album on the bottom of the page and where its available.
- A small run-down of songs included in the digpak
- Some "institutional" information such as the record label along the bottom
- A '15' age rating and parental guidance as the song contains some swearing
The photo I've used is a snap shot from my music video.

I then decided to colour out the background to ensure my text stood out.
This is my second idea :
To see what my audience thought of my finished ideas I have produced a video:
