Example Magazine Advert Analysis

Here is my magazine advert analysis of Example's tour advert that was used in magazines to promote concerts that he had during his tour in 2012.

   

From looking at the top of the poster we can see a close up of the body with his face being split in half into black and white but the background that is surrounding his face is then the opposite side to the sides which at first had black and white on.

Below this you can see the name of the artist being shown in a bold font without the use of capitals. This is surrounded by a yellow text box around the outside.

Next to this it has in a smaller font the name of special guests such as Wretch 32 which will appear as acts on his tour. This for some fans will be a selling point to go and watch them performing.

Following on from this we see the dates of which Example is performing on as well as what the location is and a phone number which can be used at all of these venues to purchase tickets to his concerts directly through them.

Below this we see the surrounded in a bold red box is added date of an extra concert being put on. This can be used to show the audience how popular he is and that the demand is so high that there is another chance to be able to watch him perform.

At the very bottom of the magazine advert is the extra information and links to websites such as Ticketmaster which are different places for fans and customers to be able to purchase tickets from. It also shows when his new album is going to be released. By putting this type of information on the bottom of the poster it allows for fans who enjoy his concerts to know when they can purchase their own copies of his music.
