Magazine advert plan

This is my plan of what I imagined our magazine advert to be like. As you can see, I have included aspects that I have learned from previous successful adverts, such as a big title, the date of release and a feature of the album cover itself, of which we found in our research.

I have looked at using the rule of thirds on the band because it is an effective way of pulling focus onto the main singer (Ben). Not only will this establish him as the main singer of the band but it would also include the rest of the trio, this way the audience would be fully aware of the members of the group.

Although I have not yet used colours on my plan, there is a clear way the members have been represented. The fact that they are laying on a brick wall, maybe smoking, plus their outfits, shows that they feel like they can do anything – that they are free. This creates a representation that they maybe a little troublesome.

The use of this also creates a representation on the genre of Ska. It would create an image of Ska music as being a little rebellious and a chilling music of the younger generation. This would encourage the younger generation to buy the album or start listening to the band’s music because they would think that this is what is relevant for them because the advert targets them.
