Foreverly magazine advertisement analysis

I analysed two magazine advertisements for albums based on their aesthetic look. From this I mainly found text varies in font size and colour depending on its informative importance. I will use this knowledge so my own advertisement  shows the key information clearly to its viewer.
Text and font
The advertisement has used the big and bold font from the original album cover to highlight clearly the names of the album's artists and the album title 'Foreverly' in a white and yellow coloured font which contrasts well with its background so it stands out from the rest of the advertisement. Other text included is what the album is about, its release date and the artist's website. The most useful information is highlighted in yellow font instead of white to draw the audience's attention to it specifically and so it follows the style of the album cover.

Colour
The advertisement has an orange and black filter which uses the strong contrast between the two colours to make the image of Billie Joe and Norah much bolder and sharper so its more eye-catching. The colours are also much brighter where the album title, the artists and their names are, compared to the rest of the picture which attracts most of the attention to that section of the advertisement.

Images
The image shows both the artists recording at a studio together which highlights who the artists are to the viewer. Also the original image used for the album cover has been used, without the cropping,  as the advertisement's background. then the section which has been used as the album cover has been highlighted with the white border used in the cover and the outside section darkened to draw more attention to the cover itself.
