Typical conventions of a pop album magazine advert would include the band/artists name in large, bold letters to attract the audience quickly. The date of the album release would also be included somewhere on the magazine advert, usually in a smaller print, as this is what the advert is advertising.
The band/artist’s image and style would also be portrayed somewhere in the advert, such as in a photograph of them or via the scenery, hair and make-up. Another convention that would be included in a magazine advert would be a few of the album’s featuring songs. This is typical in the pop genre as it makes the audience aware of their previous songs and hits.
Nowadays pop music is still available on CD’s however it is widely available to download through websites such as iTunes. Photographs are usually the main image on a magazine advert as well as the album cover, and are a very popular choice as they can be easily edited and airbrushed to attract the audience more.
Record labels are often stated, although in a smaller print as this isn’t the main focus of the advert. Nowadays the majority of pop artists have an official website, facebook or myspace page which is also featured on the advert. Sometimes quotes and ratings from magazines and critics are included in the advert, along with the band/artists achievements including awards and nominations. This can help to publicise the album.
The magazine adverts for pop artists upcoming albums often consist of bright, vibrant colours to fit within the theme of the genre of pop and also to attract audiences.
