Researching Ancillary Product: Analysis of 3 magazine advertisements

On the left is a magazine advertisement, which features 4 different artists on one page. All four of these advertisements, use track listing and some show dates for their tours alongside their album ads. Personally, I don't think its a great idea promoting a musician this way, as another ad may draw the audience away from our one. In order to draw the attention of readers, I would make my magazine ad stand out by using tons of color or have Nabilla J's face printed very large. As Nabilla J, is an indie pop artist I would make the font and the color represent the genre and appeal to our target audience.







This advertisement was in NME magazine, and unlike the one above it was given a full page. For our magazine advertisement I think it comes across really well when people use natural settings like the one on the left- so in creating our magazine ad I would also do the same. I like that this advert, shows two people walking into a black hole as it gives it a mysterious feel, almost as if once you begin to listen to this artist, listeners will be sucked into the music, and won't be able to forget it. 










This advertisement instantly grabs the attention of the reader, as the yellow headline stands out immediately against the pink background. It has a cutout of the artist on the side and the tour dates presented at the bottom. Overall, I like the way they have layout the advert- I would also do the same for my advertisement with tour dates or track listing at the bottom and the artists name used in a big and bold format spread across the middle of the page. As Nabilla J is an indie pop artist, the font and color would have to represent her genre.
