Chosen Artist Analysis Of Magazine Advertisement

This magazine advertisement is for Jessie J and her first album 'Who You Are'. This was featured in many magazines, and also newspapers. The reason I have decided to look at this magazine advert is because this is my chosen artist for my music video, so it will help to look at the conventions she has used so I can incorporate them into my magazine advertisement.

The dominating image is Jessie J's album cover for 'Who You Are'. This image is very powerful and sends the audience a very strong message that they should be proud to show their self as Jessie is doing and also its showing the audience who Jessie is, and its very bold, so if people like her it will catch their attention, its not an image that can be easily missed. The gold writing shows wealth and also luxury, showing that this album is something that will hopefully do well and give wealth to the artist, its also stands out again the rest of the poster and makes you see the artists name first which is what they want to happen when you look at a poster. The main colours within the poster are black, gold and white. These colours all work well together as they look expensive and they also stand out against each other. They all work well within the image and the costume and make up of the artist.

Underneath the image of Jessie J, there is the title of the album, and also a small section telling you which hits are of the album. This is to tell the audience maybe who don't know who she is, that she is still successful and that even though they might only like one song they still could buy the whole album, it also lets the audience who do like her, know that maybe some of their favourite tracks are on this album. Its a selling point, as it means that if people like those songs, then of course, they will buy this album, and that's why they are in white writing against the black writing, to tell the audience that. There is also her official website near the bottom and also some institutions that support the album and also the poster, both of these are important and if people like the poster and the artist then they will visit the website and maybe buy the album, so adding the website onto the poster is important and because again of the colour of the font, it means that it stands out to the audience who will be buying it.
