Analysis of magazine advert

This is the title of the magazine advert, this corresponds with the digi pak It has the same font with the same colour, the only difference is that the magazine advert has a black outline to it, this is to make it appeal more the audience when looking at the advert in a magazine.

This is on the right hand side of the poster, it is a rating from two huge music companies, Apple and HMV. This instantly tells the audience that this music has a four star rating, people usually believe these as these are the biggest distributors both online and in store, they see what sells and what our particular audience likes. Because it has the apple and hmv symbol it shows that it can be bought online and in store, this means that anyone can buy it as certain people like to buy a hardcopy than online.

This is the image I have chosen to use for my poster, it instantly relates to the boxing theme by the position and props used by the character. The character used is the same as the one in the video, ensuring there is consistency throughout. The image is in black and white as this was used for the digi pak as well- this creates a brand about it. However the gloves and the title are in red to make sure it stands out.

These websites and twitter links allows the audience to connect with the artist more, it offers more information on them. In which they can then receive information on up coming events etc.

Twitter is a social networking site that lots of our target audience will use, so this is a good way to connect, it also popular with lots of other famous artists and other public people so this allows us to widen our target audience.

Sony music will be the record label for ‘Adam Wiles’ this was used on the digi pak also, so it needs to be consistent. It also advertises the record label more and other similar artists. Sony is a large corporation, so this instantly shows that the artist must be good for them to sign him on.

These boxing gloves are a main focus of our music video, they are the boxing gloves used in the video, I also carried on the boxing glove theme in the digi-pak made. The boxing gloves on the right is made to look like it is stood out from the page, I contrasted it more than the other one to make it shine and stand from the black and white background.

There is writing inside of the boxing gloves, the right hand side boxing glove has the released date on, it is surrounded by a star. Though I was unsure of whether this would look ok at first, it actually works effectively. When someone gets knocked out, it is usually surrounded by stars so this was the look I was going for, it also helps to push the message forward more about the new release. It also helps to support the boxing theme.

Would this magazine advert be appropriate for your target audience?

My target audience is around the age of 16 to 21. it is aiming at both female and male. This particular advert is specifically designed towards one sex, it was designed to fit within the whole media production.

I contradicted the usual colours again, and matched them with the digi-pak. If the target audience like the digi pak they would be able to notice the resemblance between them both therefore i think it is appropriate.
