Research of magazine music advertisements related to my music genre, Indie rock:

This music advertisement featuring Kasabian gives off a strong vibe, the main reason being that the image contains a moody feel due to the band themselves. They are posing in a typical indie rock way, not smiling, just giving a glare.
Even though it is quite a dull overall advertisement the colours still are strong within the image and text located at the bottom. The main colours are white, red and blue, representing the country’s flag, it gives off a mild military feel. 
The text ‘Kasabian’ is simple, but yet effective, this is because it stands out and is in a font that is easy to read in which is eye catching. The text below Kasabian ‘West west Ryder pauper lunatic asylum’ which is the name of the album is done in a font which looks old English style, which refers to the genre of sort of ‘retro’. The image is sectioned off with a cardboard colour which stands behind the text. This is a good effect as it makes the image more appealing at stand out, also the colour red will not appear clearly if on the image.


The Editors music advertisement is differently unique, as the advertisement does not include images of the band members (in which is very popular) and contains art work. Firstly I thought that the art work was of sound waves than I looked closely and saw buildings and hills. The main thing that made me think that the image was of sound waves is because of the colours, which is effective.  There are two images which are not that popular on advertisements as there could be too much making the advertisement crowded, however the lack in over done font balances this.
The text is very simple, the text stands out from the image and background as they are in a contrast of colours. However there is a considerable amount of text, although the majority is in a very small font, therefore it isn’t distracting from the artist’s and album name title.
The overall advertisement is appealing towards the audience as it contains are large amount of art work, its simple and also bold.

Fyfe Dangerfield’s music advertisement straight away gives off a good impression. Although the artist is dressed in part, sort of like a black it is not a typical indie rock image due to the bright colours. With the image is a web message telling you that the main single is included within this album, which is effective due to the photo that comes with the message is linked with the main advertisement image. The image looks like a natural pose which is not used in advertising that much.
The text is very well used and ties in well with the image. The words in the sky are outlined in flowers and the words in the flowers are outlined in the sky.
