Magazine Advertising

A very common and succesful way of promoting a new album release is to advertise it in magazines which have a similair target audience as to that of the artist. I have researched and analysed some existing album magazine adverts and have presented my findings below as they shall help me to decide what forms and conventions will be neccesary when creating my magazine advert.

From researching some existing album magazine adverts I have found out that the main features that should be included in the advert is the -

- Album name
- Artist/ Band name
- Date of release
- Image of or relating to the album itself
i shall also consider including features such as the artists website, reviews, songs featuring on the album ect.
