I liked the magazine advert that I have made below as the background is in keeping with the digipak that I have made, making the album and digipak recognisable to our target audience. Although I believe that the loud and vibrant background takes some focus off the details making the information not stand out which means people may remember the background, but forget what the advertisement is actually for.
The writing conforms to the conventions of the R'n'B genre as it includes italic writing. Therefore people will be able to recognise the genre easily.
The Hmv sign is used so that our audience are made aware where they are able to purchase the album, this will increase our sales and Hmv like the advertisement too.
The use of quotes from newspapers that people trust allows the audience to believe that this album is spectacular. The use of ratings allows the audience to see just how good the album will be when they purchase it.
I included the website address on this advert so it allows the audience to read deeper into the artist if they wish to do so.
