Album Adverts

This image shows the advert for the Kings of Leon album 'Only By The Night'.The advert contains the same image from the album cover which helps the audience to clearly recognise both the advert and the album cover. Therefore allowing them to link the two together. Above the image the band name is clearly displayed and the use of the white font on a black background  makes this easily visible. The name of the album is also shown as well as the names of some of the more popular singles from the album. This again helps the audience to recognise the album by these singles and helps the audience become aware of the album. The release data of the album is also shown and again the use of a large font makes this stand out to the audience. This also allows the advert to be easily visible from a distance.

This shows the advert for the Killers album 'Day and Age'. This advert again shows the same image that is on the album cover itself. This is a very common feature for album adverts as it allows the audience to clearly recognise the advert and link it to the album. This is shown in this advert and the kings of Leon advert above, however this image is more basic than the one on the kings of Leon album. The album again clearly displays the title of the album and the name of the band which clearly stands out due to the bold font used. The advert also names the main song that is featured on the album, this makes the album recognisable and may encore sales due to the advertisement making it clear that this song is on the album.

The third advert shown is advertising the Kaiser Chiefs album 'Off With Their Heads'. This is a simple yet very effective and professional design which again displays the basic features expected in an an album advert. This gain includes the same image that is on the album cover and is presented on a plain white background. This is a very effective technique as the image clearly stands out when on this background and the title of the band and the album is also clearly displayed. The release date of the album is again displayed and is again shown clearly for the audience to see. There is also a slim banner line down the left hand side of the advert which works well to add colour to the advert. The banner contains what is seen as logos and images of the kaiser chiefs combined with a mood board style.
