Research Into Similar Products: Magazine Advert

By looking at magazine album adverts, I have noticed the simple conventions of a music advert. Most page ads contain a photo of the album art is included in the center of the advert and the colours surrounding the ad are linked with the album cover itself. The release date is featured and singles from the album are also included to create a familiarity with a possible audience. Websites are also included so that an audience can find a place to purchase the album but also find others in their catalogue. By picking out these conventions, I know what to include on my own advertisement so that it looks professional and realistic.
