Magazine advert design 2

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Mariah Carey E=MC² Although there is quite a lot going on in this advert (Artists name, date, description, review/star rating, songs included, where you can buy etc ) The artist is centre of attention. Just like marina and the diamonds gig poster it seems to target females because she is a female herself, however due to the way she is positioned and the fact that she seems to be wearing nothing behind the fur she s holding against her, it would suggest that it is aimed at males too because she seems to be quite sexual and promiscuous. the black background makes the artist stand out more, even though she has a black and white tint the background contrasts against her and makes her look glowing, so she stands out more. The colours of the writing within the advert are bright pink which stands out from the black and white picture; this also attracts females and puts across that the album is quite girly. The font is quite simple; however the colours attract all of the attention. The font sizes are different throughout the advert, the words 'Mariah' and 'E=MC²' are bigger to attract the most attention, as they are the most important for the readers eyes to see.The advert is portrait, so the positioning of the artist standing up vertically draws you in and makes most of the space.There is a lot of information on this advert; the space is made use of with the positioning of the information. The information is kept to the left side of the advert and at the bottom to keep it looking organised and leaving the artist still the centre of the advert. The advert has as much information on it as possible, this ensures that the viewer can have as many ways to purchase the album and be informed as much as possible to increase sales.The titles of some of Mariah Carey’s hits are displayed to attract fans that have already heard them on the radio or downloaded them for example, to be persuaded to buy the whole album.
