Magazine Advertisements For Digipak Research

A magazine advertisement for the Digipak(CD/DVD package):

Heres a magazine advert for the stereophonics and this is the thing that I am hoping to produce when I get a band/group or solo artist. I really like this advert because I think the image they have taken of the sterophonics walking towards us and the rock and sand behind them, I think it really makes them look quite hard, serious and a very professional. I also like how the advert is mostly black and white so they've only used a certain amount of colours, which gives it a professional look. Another good thing about it is that I like  how all of the writing is on a plain background, rather being on top of the image and getting confused about what it say's, the title really stands out because of this, and also because of the gold logo behind. I hope that mine would look a lot like this because this is my favourite one and looks very professional. The serif writing doesnt stand out as much as sans serif but the bold black serif writing really stands out in the middle of the advert!

Here's another magazine advert, advertising the release of laga gaga's new album. I dont think this looks as good as the stereophonics advert as its got alot more infromation on it, that i think that it doesnt really need. The image is good, but I think I would be able to do the same if i had the correct lighting and Lady Gaga. I seems like theyhave chosen certain colours for this adevrt but its harder to see it then on the stereophonics advert. The colours are mostly black, blue and a bit of gold and white. But I think this advert looks more like an Advert and the stereophonics Advert looks more like an album cover, so if i do my design of mine either way it will be fine.

Here is another advert I dont like this one as much as its quite plain and not a lot to it, but I like how they have used certain colours such as the black and red, which really sticks out also white which really stands out because of the black behind. They have used sans serif writing so its bold and catches your eye.
