G324: 2 x Magazine Advertisement Analysis

This magazine advertisement below is in the Progressive Rock genre and is from a well known group called Radiohead. This is a good magazine advertisement because it uses good colours to try and stand out but isn't too "in your face". The colours that are used in this advertisement go well with the genre of the music. This is good that they have gone with the generic style but have put their own twist on it. The artists name is nice and clear on the advertisement which is what you want because you want the audience to see who is performing and also be able to try and tell what genre the advertisement is in.

In terms of layout of the magazine advertisement, where you put the text on the page is very important but most of all, I feel they have put the text in the right place on here. With the information which is on here, all of the relevant information is needed such as; when the gig is, where it is, how much it is to get in, who is performing, how old you have to be, where you can buy the tickets from and the record companies label. I like this magazine advertisement because it is very relevant to the genre of progressive rock.


This one is a magazine advertisement below in the R&B/Soul/Grime/Drum and Bass genre and is from a well known artist called Plan B (stage name Strickland Banks).This is a decent effort at a magazine advertisement but it doesn't really grab my attention that much so I wouldn't be that inclined to buy Plan B's album or go to one of his gig's. The colours that are used in this advertisement are alright and I do think that they go with the genre of the artist. This is a decent magazine advertisement because they have gone with a very basic style but have put their own twist on it to try and attract the right audience. The artists name is really nice and clear on the advertisement which is what you want because you want the audience to see who is performing and also be able to try and tell what genre the advertisement is in.

I think that this magazine could do with being a bit more appealing but I suppose it is alright for the genre the artist is in.
