Task 15 - Research into magazine adverts

This task will really aid me in the design of my own magazine adverts. I noticed in the genre they don't tend to advertise albums in magazines as it being a fairly new genre I assume they mainly advertise on-line. But through out all the advertisements for other promotions of there's I was able to get an understanding for the techniques applied. I learnt that they usually promote their tour using the key themes that they have applied to their album covers and videos, this idea can be applied across all of mine also so I have learnt I need to have a clear theme throughout all the formats I design, I also learnt that their is a lack of words on these adverts as they are designed to be straight to the point or offer a lot of information through the image.
