Analysis of Magazine Advert - Magnetic Man


  • Using the whole page to advertise something, especially an album, usually means that the album is quite special. It is also a guarantee that people will see it.
  • The background image if quite strange, and even though it's in black and white, it's still very eye-catching. the silhouettes of the three band members presents them as individuals and as a band as being quite mysterious, this could reflect the music that they perform.
  • What makes this advert very different to the others I have looked at is the fact that it have three reviews, which are all good, showing the anticipation for the release. By having positive reviews on an advertisement means that people are more likely to want it or like it if others have. Also, the three reviews are from media institutions, such as magazines and newspapers, which are things that most people trust.
I like that this album advertisement is simplistic (like the others) but also it creates a feeling of mystery. It contains all the necessary information (e.g. release date and band name), as well as some extra information (e.g. reviews and collaborations).
