Analysing a Magazine Advert

For our magazine advert, we would like to apply a simplistic style, with not a lot of images/text. This would work well as Vulfpeck use simplistic style.

For example, Lana Del Rey's cover is simple, minimalistic and straight to the point.

- Artist is centered, main focus of the cover. This tells the audience the musician doesn't need distractions from the music and is right to the point
- Light colours keep the theme happy
- Small font underneath to not take up space
- Large white font to highlight the artists name and help it stand out on the blue background
- Blue font on the white shirt, contrasting white title with blue sky
- Not a lot of excess imagery and clutter to fill up the cover and distract the consumer
- Simple colour scheme, not too complex and hard on the eyes





As a group, we decided that a simplistic magazine advert would be best, as unnecessary clutter would distract from the content. Similar to our digipak, there will be 'Vulfpeck' written in bold capital letters.

- Cover is simple, but has complex lighting/colours
- Colours are warm, shades of pink, red and orange
- Text at the top is large, bold and white.
- Text is recognisable as La roux's font as she uses this text for her other album/covers
- Only one image used, no clutter and random objects in the cover
- Cover uses the artist to sell the album
- Colours are not too intense, so not too deter the consumers
- Colours are used to set the theme/tone, as La Roux uses intimate themes in some of her songs




Similarly, La Roux has used a simplistic style with a lot of depth to it. Which is what our cover is attempting to achieve. We will use techniques that the people who designed La Roux and Lana Del Rey's advert and apply these to our own magazine advert.
