Ancillary Task 2. Magazine Advert.

This is the magazine advert promoting the album. It shows the album cover design. Then for promoting the album we have included the band's name, the album name. We have also included the release date and where to pre-order the album. It also shows a review of the album which helps grab audiences attention. The overall colour scheme of the advert is the same as the album cover with dark colours and white font. The typography that we used is the same font that we used for the back of the album. We did this so that it matches the album cover. Additional information that we put on the advert is also the record company and contact details. We did consider putting gig dates onto the advert as this is quite common for metal adverts, however we decided against it as it would ruin the overall layout of the product and we wanted to sell the album and not a tour. 

Overall I am really happy with this magazine advert because it is affective and looks this like a real advert. I also feel that we met the codes and conventions of a real magazine advert as well as the codes and conventions of a metal genre advert.
