Magazine advert analysis

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran Magazine Advert The advert for Ed Sheeran’s new album is very effective due to the large white font which presents it as very clear against the dark background allowing it to stand out for viewers. Furthermore the inclusion of the artist as the focus of the ad allows the artist to show viewers what he looks like to enhance his image and achieve further sales. Also although the ad is mainly for the new album, the inclusion of the main two singles allows fans of those singles to understand where they come from and therefore listen to more songs by the same artist if they wanted to easily.

Green Day

The Band Name is the biggest font on the ad which allows it to stand out, representing it as the main aspect of the ad is important so that viewers can easily identify the focus of the advert. The picture is a very emotive image allowing the band to stand out among others in their genre, putting the image in the centre allows this effect to be amplified also. Furthermore the bold white font allows the details of the download to stand out at the bottom of the ad. These details need to be able to stand out as they are the purpose of the advert and they do this effectively.

The Killers
The Killers ad is to promote their new album “Day and Age”, therefore it is very clever that they used the same cover of the album for the ad, this results in association being made easier by potential viewers when they decide to buy the album it would be easier to find. Also the design of the ad is very bright and vibrant which is very effective as it means the ad will catch audience members eyes.
