Magazine Advertisement Analysis



Arcade Fire are classed in the 'Indie Rock' genre and The Horrors are classed in the 'Gothic Rock' genre which therefore closely relate to the genre of my band which is from the 'A;ternative Rock genre. Here I see that the conventions of a rock magazine advert are:
  • The title of the band name and the album as well as the official date that it should be out featured in bold clear font and colour
  • The band do not neccesarily have to be featured on the advertisement (Arcade Fire)
  • Some small print
  • Some comments from radio shows or popular music channels ( The Horrors)
  • Appropriate use of colour which reflects on the genre of the band (Arcade Fire- Light, bright neon lights to reflect on the lighter sound of the Indie Rock. The Horrors- More black and white, monotone colours which reflects on the more dark and harsh sound of the Gothic Rock genre.
