Magazine advert analysis

30 seconds to mars

 

The above picture is the magazine advert for 30 seconds to mars, although there are traditional conventions of a magazine advert, there are also so things what are missing. When looking at this advert, the first thing what caught out attention was the colour scheme, we liked the black and white because, it just emphasized the red which is the important bit because it is the name of the band and this is the fact we want to remember the most. Another convention they have on there is the name of the album they are promoting, this is vital to artists because then the audience know what it is called and will buy it. 

 

Some things the band haven't included is the typical band shot, this was a big let down to me personally, because not only to a magazine advert but this is a convention of the genre of music to focus on the band. But after a discussion we agreed because they are so big they don't need to worry about selling there faces instead of the name. A final thing which isn't included is the reviews, in most magazine adverts it is important to have reviews, but again we agreed they weren't there because of the popularity of the band and they don't need to worry about the conventions. 

To conclude, this digipak helped us get a variety of ideas and additionally told us that popular bands don't need to worry about the conventions but since we are a ammeter makers, we need to include all conventions so people are more appealed to the band.
