What is the purpose of a magazine advert?
The purpose of a music artist acclaimed magazine advert is to advertise the artist's album to the public and to give them information around the album itself, for example, the date of release and the artist and album name and image. A magazine advert may also have information regarding gigs and live tours of the artist, especially in house music artists like Benny Benassi. Other features of a magazine advert include the record companies involved in the making of the album, the reviews made by magazines and some of the songs included on the album. The magazine advert is often shown in A4 formatting, as nearly all magazines are made using A4 paper.
Here, I have annotated the magazine advert for Basement Jaxx, a house music artist, for the album 'Rooty'.
The reason for choosing the magazine advert for 'Basement Jaxx - Rooty' is because the artist is of the same genre as mine (house) and the advert is very gripping to the target audience. I did not like the idea for the design, because I would prefer to have the artists faces on the magazine advert. I am going to challenge the house music convention and add the pop idea of the star image to my very own magazine advert for my artist 'Benny Benassi'.
