The magazine advert that I have decided to look at is of Gwen Stefani. There is a lot of typical features in this advert such as the name of the Solo artist, as well as the name of the album (love.Angel.Music.Baby) and the official website where you can buy or download the album. You can also tell which shop you can buy it from.
By the colours shown throughout the advert, the category for this type of music i feel would involve Pop music with an edge.
The images used in this advert are of the solo artist as well as the album front cover. The image is of Gwen Stefani on a throne looking chair with a crown. This could show that the album will have a glamorous feel and that she is the 'Queen of pop'.
The text that has been used is the same throughout the advert and is also the same colour. The font of the text has a decorative pattern which in victorian times, would be expensive and luxurious. The colour also resembles gold which goes well with the image of Gwen Stefani as she looks like a queen and royal people tend to be rich and have gold. The text and the image have complimented each other well as the colours match.
Gwen Stefani represents herself in this advert as she is well known for her bleach blonde hair and on this advert it has been shown to great extent. The advert doesn't really say much about the music, only which known songs are in the album however just by looking at the advert, you can get a feel for the type of music, with it being light coloured you think of pop.
What I have learnt by looking at this advert is that there is no need to put on a lot of words as people will probably just glance at the advert and take a small notice of when it is out. The better the image, the better the advert.
