Magazine Ad analysis

Okay - so something I discovered recently was that album and single releases don't really advertise much in magazines anymore. But if you look for long enough, you'll still find some good examples. I've put a choice of 3 you can use on Blackboard under 'Course Materials' - or just find one of your own.

Don't go spending money on a music magazine. Check the net or go the the library - there are loads of magazines up there. A word of caution about finding these on the internet though - if you Google something like 'magazine advert and album release'... you'll get loads of student produced adverts aswell as real ones. Make sure you analyse a real magazine advert and not a student ad.

Here's a fairly simplistic idea of how you might go about it:

 Much better would be a spoken/screencast analysis.... see the next post for details on that.
