Magazine adverts for album releases have become popular as it is a way for the artist to appeal to their audience, also it can appear in more than one magazine thus meaning it is more likely to reach the intended audience. Album release advert are most likely to appear in music magazines for example for the genre of 'Indie' music , an album release advert is likely to appear in music magazines such as 'Q' and 'NME' as this fits the genre of music. However adverts can also appear in other genre magazines that would appeal to it's intended audience.Here is some analysis of album release advertisements.
Typical conventions of a music magazine advert are:
- An image,usually from the digipak
