Initial Ideas For A Magazine Advert

Most magazine adverts that we have looked at are generally very basic and tend to include a release date, The artists name and the name of the song/album being released. We intend to use a couple of simple images of the instruments shown above in our Magazine advertisement to sell the pink spiders as an indie pop group. These images will be in black and white along with the rest of the information on the advert. However we plan to show the bands name in pink, this will make the advertisement stand out from the rest and also enhance the image of the band. The image of the instruments will be basic and in black and white. The image of the drums is the sort of angled shot that we would like to re-create. We will also include a bass guitar and an electric guitar in the foreground, these images will also be black and white. The inspiration for this idea came from the Radio 1 Live lounge album front cover (above and left). We really like the way the instrument cases are stacked against each other, this keeps with the conventions of the genre of music we are advertising for.
