Magazine advertisement 2

Media Language: the biggest text on the advert is the date of the album 'Out 11th Jan' telling people that it is going to be out on this day, preparing people to be able to buy it; and the name of the band 'all time low' this tells the audience of the band and could attract new audience. this are the two most important pieces of information the next biggest text on the advertisement is the album name. this is located under the band name so naturally your eyes will lower down the page. The information on the page is the most important bits of information because this is what the general public will see and you need to make this information stick so people will be interested. If there is a lot of information that is unnecessary then the audience wont pay attention to what is needed. the bottom of the poster contains the formats you can buy it on and a website to buy a physical copy online. his will help boost sales because people now don't need to leave their home to purchase the item.

Representation: the bright colours at the top of the advert connote an upbeat and lively album while the band name being held up by tape connotes that they are down to earth and still thinking about their early days of playing when they were unsigned and focusing on the music rather than their fame. the use of the black at the bottom makes the information stand out and it complements the bright colours above. No members of the band are shown which shows that they are more focused on the music rather than the look of the band.

Institution: the website for the band are at the bottom of the advertisement. this allows the audience to explore the band and find out information about them including  their other albums and up coming dates. this advert was taken from kerrang! which is a magazine that is sold in many public shops and therefor has to be non offensive as children could read it. Using non-offensive advertisements will allow more public coverage as there are less barriers to get past.


Audience: The age range for You me at Six is around teenagers you young adults of all genders. The bands advertisements have been in many magazines such as 'Q' magazine and Kerrang! magazine. Kerrang! is for a younger audience where as Q is for a much older target audience. this tells me that they want to extend the age range of their audience by publicising in many different places. The look of the magazine advert connotes how it is not aimed at a specific gender and the colour almost gives a visual representation of their own music.
