Anaylsis of Magazine Advert - British Sea Power


  • The dark green and mustard yellow colours that have been used, link to the first part of the band name "British Sea", as the weather in Britain isn't great, making the sea a dark and murky colour.
  • Using white text colour on this dark background means that it will stand out more, drawing the audience into reading what it says.
  • The image to the left of the text contains a lightening bolt, this could be an image to represent the second part of the band name "Power".
  • The magazine advertisement contains both the band website and the record label website, giving the readers the ability to get more information on the band or album if they want to. This could also be a way of buying the album.
  • The advert isn't bombarded with colour, pictures or information, everything is minimal and simple, which I like as it's easier to read.
This isn't my favourite album advert as the colours don't stand out a lot and therefore aren't too eye-catching. I do however like that it's simple. Which I think is an element that we will use when it comes to creating our magazine advert.
