Analysing conventions of a magazine advert for a CD:
I looked at the Arctic Monkey's advertisement for their CD within a magazine, looking at the conventions of the layout, colour, text and themes. The name of the artist was the biggest on the ad, showing that they rely on their branding alone to draw attention. The CD was a medium close up of a girls face, showing that the artists are not even on the advertisement, which could suggest they are not interested in promoting themselves/ their image, but the music itself.
The main conventions that are normally seen within a magazine advertisement for music is:
1) The artists name
2) A picture of the artist/band
3) The logo or name of the record label
4) Reviews in the style of stars out of five
5) The release date of the album
6) The albums names, in addition to some of the previous singles being advertised
