Magazine advert design 1






ve Marina and The Diamonds 'The Family Jewels'

As Marina is a famale, the target audience seems to be female, her positioning in the album cover is quite possibly portrayed as being sexual, so the target audience could be Men as well. The font is quite quirky so is probably aimed at the younger generation of teenagers and younger adults; it is quite a femanin font aswell which would attract the female audience even more. The background is flowery and the colours would also suggest that it is aimed at females.

The font in the artists name and title is in a "hand written" font, it appears to be quite messy and natural. The large font makes it clear and easy to read for the viewer. This creates the message that she is imperfect. The font is also white, this means that the title and the artists name stand out from the rest of the dark background.

The image of marina covers the whole of the page, taking most of the attention. The fact that she is lying down, tilting her head backwards slightly. This gives an unusual feel to the artist. The viewer cannot see if Marina is wearing clothes or not, her facial expression and the way her head is tilted back may suggest that she is being promiscuous and being made to look like a sexual object. The background is quite girly yet old fashioned which is also quite quirky, however it is quite dull as well, this is a positive attribute as it helps her glowing face and the title stand out and grab more attention. The advert does seem to represent women in a negative way, as she looks quite promiscuous. Marina and The Diamond's music has quite a different style, this is represented in the advert with the unusual writing and her unusual positioning.
