Here are some examples of music advertisements that I took pictures of from my blackberry. The image on the left is from (...) Although it is not the magazine music advertisement I thought that it was just showing other ways in which many Pop artists today promote their albums. This magazine features a short description about the artist Jessie J's music and her new single Price Tag. This particular article is only talking out singles that are out at the moment not promoting artists whole albums. However it contains similar conventions to that of a music magazine advertisement as it includes the release date, album/single cover and hit singles.
In Seventeen magazine I found this music advertisement for Katy Perry's album 'Teenage Dream'. Although it does not look like a normal music advertisement. Her actual album does not seem to be the main focus of the page. Her name and her face are the things that stand out the most.
Her album is only in a small image on the right hand side and in tiny writing underneath says : Look out for Katy Perrys new album Teenage Dream. I thought this was a bit unusual as I would think that she wants to promote and sell her album yet that is the smallest image and text on the page.
However, it could be said that as she is now such a well known artist that by having her face and name alone could entice readers to buy her album.
Here is another example of music advertisements that we found today. This one is for the New
Zealand rock band The Naked and Famous.
This advertisement is a more stereotypical advertisement. It features their album cover which creates synergy and a recognisable image for their fans.
It also features their singles, when their debut album is out, and also a promotional offer which gives a free collectable 7" record if you pre-order at HMV. Which is also is showing where the album is accessible to buy.
This therefore creates a more exciting selling point for fans as they are being given a free gift by purchasing the album.
