Inspiration of our music advert

Comparison of our magazine adverts

Me and david (my partner) looked at a couple magazine adverts and chose this one as an inspiration for our own magazine advert as it is simple yet effective. It has an image which is the same as the album cover even though this is there fifth studio album and they are n established band they have chosen to use the same image. The reason we have chosen the same image as our album cover is to get known and establish our band throught our advert and gain recognition, hence marketing both the band and album at the same time. We have placed the quotes in a similar place as elbow as it looks professional but changed the quotes to suit our band. Also we have changed the music magazines as elbow are a indie rock band, whereas we are rock/metal band, therefore we have magazine references such as kerrang. As we are an upcoming band and this is our first album, we thought costs of distribution would be a problem in online stores such as amazon, so it would be more cheaper and sensible to be marketed through apple itunes rather than amazon or HMV. Elbow have two lines on either side of the bands name, we have took this idea and developed it, as without the two tribal designs the magazine will look plain and bare.
