Real Magazine Advert

This is a great example of a professional magazine advert which is of a more related genre to our genre of music. Obviously this theme is of glamour and uses a lot more colour than the student advert that I analysed. You can see because Cee Lo Green is a solo artist, they have used a close up of him to make the artist instantly recognisable when the advert is seen. This means that the title of the artist is less important, and consequently does not have to be at the top of the page. The bottom third of the page then tells us the information we need and it follows the conventions used in the student ad: 

1 -Artist   
2 -Title   
3 -Date  
4 -Reviews                         
5 -Website/Record Labels

You can see that the editing and colours used help this advert stand out from the page. They have used very strong, vibrant colours (perhaps to link with the genre of pop/soul/rap) with the writing and background, as well as using strong bright lighting in the phot to reflect of his jewellery. 

Again this is a very simple advert that is instantly effective and memorable. It is very useful to see how different genres are shown through the adverts and this real ad will definitely aid our designing and editing for our magazine ad and digipak.
