Magazine Advertisement Research

My group and I decided to continue working on our ancillary tasks once we had researched our cd covers. We have now decided to research magazine advertisements so that we all know the common conventions of magazines. From knowing this, we can all start creating our magazine advertisements in our own time. I have included 3 examples of magazine advertisements that we found below:

These magazine advertisements are individually different, the first one consists of a band shot, the second one consists of an artist shot and the third one consists of a location shot. I believe that the image used on the third advertisement is a CGI (computer generated image). The image used in the second advertisement consists of a head shot of the artist, from researching these magazines I feel as though the second advertisement is the most appropriate for my own project. I believe this because the song that my group and I have chosen consists of one artist therefore we would need to include a head shot of our artist. I will also consider using quotes in my magazine advertisement as I feel that this is another way to lure the audience into buying the album being advertised.
