This is a magazine advertisement i found in Januarys edition of Kerrang magazine. The magazine is aimed at a specific market of people who listen to rock music and not the mainstream. The advertisement is simplistic and artistic with sharp contrast between the black and white. The typography and the symbol behind it is unique to the band. It also provides all the important information clearly and ONL:y displays the vital info. this makes the advert more memorable at a glance. Other information included in the advertisement is two stores in which the album can be bought, this provides advertisement for them and also boost sales. They will pay money to have their name on the advertisement, so in a way, they are sponsors of the band. In this case the sponsors are HMV and Visiblenoise.com. The advertisement conforms the the stereotypes of the rock music genre, it does this by using dark colours which provide dramatic effect. it has little images and instead, uses effects and writing, in this case, the bands name and the logo of the eagle. There is no other writing than this and the advertisements at the bottom of the page providing a simplistic but effective look.
