Print research: Magazine Adverts

                ( Noah And The Whale: Last Night On Earth)


                     


This advert was placed in 'Q magazine' as the band are in the indie genre the image appears to be done a a low budget. It is a picture of the band with a blend into a picture of a street. Nothing out of the ordinary is with the street, Its just a simple English street with nothing fancy. Keeping with the theme of being an authentic inidie band. Although the group are an Indie band and have a lower budget for advertisement they have managed to have a full page in the magazine. The major reason for this being they are one of the leading indie bands and 'Q magazine' regularly promote bands such as these.
    The advert contains an image of the band as described above, with the title of the band, the title of the album. Which is obviously needed to inform the customer of what the product actually is. It has a release date and the headlining single. The record company logo and a quotation of some positive feedback given by the publisher of the magazine. This is done to encourage the customer to want to buy the album.

                      ( Mr. Hudson: Straight No Chaser )

                          
The advert used for Mr. Hudson's album differs to Noah And The Wales. This one appears to be done on a higher budget, it seems less authentic classic indie and a much more mainstream artist who's values to the genre name 'Indie' is in small supply. However it is still clear to the audience though as to which genre this artist belongs to due to his image and costume. this advert is a very successful one. It is set on a very minimalistic white background, it has a sans bold black text for the artist and album name. The image on the advert is of the artist, there are several photos and as the pictures head back from the front picture they get fainter. The advert features a majority of the things a normal advert would, It has the artist and album name, a picture of the artist, the artist label, an album release date and a list of the top tracks featuring on the album. It would appear totally normal to a traditional advert except this one hasn't got a review.
