Product Research - Magazine Advertisements

To complete the magazine advertisement we will also need to use band images, they may be the same as the album cover or they may be different to advertise a particular gig, single or album. To get ideas of what types of images bands use in their advertisements I have carried out some product research in this area:

Two Door Cinema Club - Tour Advertisement

This poster is similar to the album cover that just uses a photograph of the band/artist as the center of the poster. The name of the band and the name of the album/tour that is being advertised is also present. This is a possible option for us to use a photograph of the band as the image for our magazine advertisement.

Sonic Boom Six - Album Advertisement

Some bands/artists use logos or symbols to advertise themselves and a way for fans to recognize them. These are often used on posters and advertisements so people can quickly recognize bands/artists. Also sometimes bands/artists use other images or photographs that sometimes relate or sometimes don't relate to the album/tour for the primary image on their posters. These options are all possible ideas for our magazine advertisement image.

The Cribs - Tour Advertisement

Similarly to the album covers some bands/artists use software to maniluate photographs of the band/artist. These images can be used on posters and magazine advertisements. This is again is an idea we could use for the image on our magazine advertisement.
