The colour

scheme of this

advert is a lot

darker then

usually seen in a

stereotypical

music poster, the

choice of darker

colours represent

the more deep

and meaningful

side of her music.

These colours

include red,greens, black and

white. Along with

this, the text

being white makes

it stand out

Her outt, hair

and makeup dont

look extremelyfancy, if anything

they look more

untouched and un

professional.

However the cover

has !uite a dark

theme over all."lorence #the

women$ denitely

stands out the

most within the

whole picture as

her skin is bright

and pale. %t looks

The font here is very iconic for "lorence and the

&achine so % believe it works very well, this is seen at

her music concerts a lot but also on album covers , etc.

The font of the title '(ungs % think also is very e)ective

because it is the same width of her body, so it makes it

look more linked. %t is also a very formal type of font so

makes the image look sophisticated. The two fonts work

great together as they match the genre however in my

'

This is "lorence

and the &achine

album for (ungs

which was

realised * yearsago+ % like the

fact they have

included the

release date on

the advert. This

creates some

sort of

countdown towhen it comes

out so people

could preorder.

Along with this

they have also

put where the

album could be

bought, so '-.-eluxe -.. etc

%n the small

They have included in the

magaine music poster, in thesame font, the name of the artist

and the name of the album being

realised. The only di)erence

between them is the colour of the

font. % like how it is the same font

style because % think the theme

works very well as it is continuous.

%n addition, this font is seen on hisposters, album covers etc so it is

better marketing.

%t has also included where you can

get the album and what date it is

being released. This is a very

common feature of a magaine

poster. %n addition to this, there is

the name of the distributor

company at the bottom is smaller

print.

"urthermore, the colour scheme

This is a classic reggae/soul magaine poster as per usual you see a picture

of the artist with his stereotypical loose shirt and dreadlocks. His pose also

looks like he is singing passionately with his eyes closed0 by doing this it

almost represents having a deeper meaning in his music. He is also looking

very happy with his smile. % have also interpreted the hand gesture to

suggest that his music has a lot of moving context and 1avour.

The lighting in this picture as well % think is very e)ective also because it is

!uite simplistic whilst also looking very professional, % think how it is coming

This 2lly &urs poster is very similar to the poster i 3ust analysed before.

They are within a year of release from each other as well.

% like how the name of the artist '2lly &urs is the only text in red, so

therefore stands up from the long shots of 2lly &urs. % think this is a verygood techni!ue as the artist album cover is also much related round the

colour of red. Therefore all links in well. "urthermore, to add on about colour,

% believe the colour choice of red, white and black is great. This is because

this would look very unusual and stand out on a classic magaine page,

% also like the images of the

artist on the front cover

because it gives a 3ay mood

of the whole magaine advert.

However as he is

di)erentiating between

happy, sad and moody poses,

it shows that his music has alot of feeling, not like normal

pop. %t also reminds me of 3ust

a mesh of all his di)erent

emotions. However % also

think his outt choice is

important within this photo,

because the hat gives a soul

vibe with the scarf and 3acket.

Along with this, the magaine

has also included all of the

relevant information,

including the day, the website

of the artist, the artists

name. However they have

also included that it is a'-ebut Album, which gives

the album extra importance

and could entice fans to buy it

even if they have the original

album already. Along with

this, they have also added

exclusive singles that are on

the -. This is another way to

The only 1ashy text on this advert

is the '24T 526 as it is bright

red, however still is the same font

as the rest of the advert. They will

do this to attract the audience of

their band to go and buy it as

soon as possible. % really like the

colour of each individual font

however because the colour

represents the sepia of the

image. The whole advert is very

e)ective, along with the style of

font because it shows a more

serious message, rather than

1ashy and curly text. The can see

a smaller font used to tell the

audience what songs are included

on the album0 this is very good

because the audience can be

attracted.

%n each bottom corner as well

they have added some of their

This '7ings of (eon magaine advert has been recently released.

% love this album a lot because of the colour scheme they have used, % feel

that it represents the music very well without giving away too much of the

genre away, it does not establish it to be a pop band and also is a very

popular colour scheme for this generation of time. % also really like theimage, how it includes the whole of the band whilst making up the face of an

eagle. This could represent 'soaring through the skies. %t gives o) a serious

e)ect by doing this to the audience. 8eople could interpret this because

The font is very contrasting in

this, for each separate type of

information there is a di)erent

style of font. Alicia 7eys has a

very powerful iconic font for hername which takes central place in

the middle of the magaine

adverts. However % dont like this,

it does not represent her music

the right way. The other

information on the poster is in a

di)erent font which % think helps

grab attention to the wholeposter. However % do not think it

works all together as it does not

have similar features in common.

Also it is not the average font we

expect to see on a pop artist

poster. The colours of the font and

the image however work together.

They have included all the

relevant information on the poster

however. This includes the date of

when it is happening0 the album

cover so fans can buy it in shops,

all the sponsored brands and the

Alicia 7eys is a classic soul singer of our generation0 she is a global

sensation who is known in many countries. As you can see this is a foreign

based advert for her '"reedom tour.

The text in this is very unusual0 % believe that this is not really a good

representation of the music to the actual advert. This is because the poster

presents that she is more of a pop icon, whereas her music has more 3athemes within it. This is the same vibe given o) by the image of Alicia0 her

makeup is done up with an intense black colour along with her hair being
