Magazine Advert Research

 Magazine adverts vary heavily on what it is designed to do. The magazine advert is seen by 100,000's of readers and has to be perfect if it wants to sell its product and this is exactly what they are made for, selling a product. In my advert I want this to be key as this is what it is meant to do and instead of making it fancy and hard to read ,I want it to be straight to the point and very clear as this is the best way an advert should be.

The advert on the left is for a new fragrance and as you can see, it is surrounded with the product. The product is all over and by doing this, you know exactly what it is and how it looks. Also in large text is its name, again  promoting the product. The fragrance also is being used by a model so that women think they will be like her when wearing this, again promoting this product. This is the style of product which uses this way of advertisement and also it would be put in a variety of magazines with a large amount of women reader, magazines like heat.



 This is a music magazine advert for you me at six. Again, this has the band's name in large capital letters and the day the new album comes out is also in large. This is so that you remember and it will stick in your mind for longer.

The advert also uses many colours and a piece of artwork in the background making it look more attractive but still is not overshadowing the writing. It also has at the bottom a place where you can buy it, play.com .This is also generating sales and also making it easier for the reader to find a place to buy it.
I like this advert as it is very good looking and works with the band's genre. The artwork is clear and attracting and the writing still stands out to the reader. From this I would use the font style and how clear it is in my own magazine advert as this is key to getting people to look at the magazine.

 This is another advert but for a different genre to the one above. This is for pop and the first thing you see is the singer. This is because anyone who likes the music will instantly recognise the singer because in the videos, they are at the centre of the camera and we recognise them instantly. This in itself is a great marketing tool for the advert and would make many readers stop and look at what is being shown
The writing is also clear and precise and it also talks about her most famous songs what most people know because they are played in shops and on radio stations. This again makes people want the album and generates more sales.

I like this advert because it uses the singer as its main marketing branch and I think that is a great idea. It fits the genre well but in my genre,folk , it will not be so good so I think I will not use this type of marketing but the idea of their most popular songs on the advert makes very good sense and that is one thing I may take forward to my next part of the magazine advert.

 

The magazine advert here is very different to the rest. It has an instant random look to it and this fits the bands genre as they try to do this. The advert also has large text for the band as this would not be recognisable without it unlike the advert above. The advert also has large text for the album name, again so that we know what it is called and it also offers a place to buy it again in the corner which is play.com. The advert also uses a very large image which catches the readers attention and works very well.                                                                                      I think this advert works very well because it gives it a random look to what usually is done. It still clearly shows the main parts though needed to sell the album and works very well. From this, I would take the idea of a large photo from and use this in a way if wanted. Also, the different colours of text works very well but in my genre I don't think this will work.
