Maroon 5 Magazine Advert Analysis

Here is my analysis of the magazine advert that Maroon 5 used to promote their tour in 2011. In this case the magazine advert has been personalised just to be used for Manilla.

• At the top of the magazine advert you can see the name of the band being written in a thin and bold font with all of it being done in capitals. This can be used  make the advert standout more to the public who look at it. 
• The letter M has been split into a top half and a bottom half. With the bottom half of the word being made into a V in the colour red and the top half of the M being left the same. This may have been a theme that was used throughout the tour as well as also being a symbol to the type of music that they are creating. 
• The use of having the letter V in red is used again within the word live shows it prepatition as well as it confirming that there is a deeper meaning to it. 
• In the middle of advert we see a close up of all of the band members. This is one of the ways in which the band can be recognised globally due to people knowing who the band members are especially with the likes of Adam Levine in the band. 
• Below this information is given such as what day the concert is happening, what time it starts and what the location is. Yet again the letter V is in the colour red. 
• At the bottom of the poster the phone number of where tickets can be purchased from is shown. This can be used by fans in order for them to be able to purchase tickets to go to concerts such as this one.  
• On the left at the bottom of the image it shows the logo of the album, which is a good feature to put on the poster so that fans/customers who like the concert then know where they can buy the album from. 
• As well as this at the very bottom of the photo the bands website and twitter account have been put on the poster. By having this information of there it makes it easy and accesable for fans to get in touch with the band as well as finding exclusive news and information about the band. 
• The way in which the band make the advert look with it all mainly being in black can be used to represent what type of music they may have produced and show the type of look that they are going for.
