The second magazine album advert I have chosen to analyse is one for the Stone Roses' debut album.
At a first glance, the colour palette of the advert is bright which I think would be good in order to make readers look at the page in the magazine rather than skimming past.
The design of the artwork appears very arty with paint splatters which could imply a lively sound of the band.
The logos at the bottom of the advert; itunes, silvertone etc. add a professional aesthetic and authenticity to the album. I think that this could be a good techinique to use on my own album advert.
The band name stands out alot due to the font, colour scheme and placing of it. The fact that it is at the top of the page, I think, makes the band name the first thing that you see, from an audiences point of view when turning the page.
The ratings at the top of the page may influence audience members to buy the album, especially as they are both well known and well recieved music magazines, 'Q' and 'NME'. I like how they are places on badges, which adds a more casual approach to the 'look' and relates to band badges and the target audience the band is aimed at.
