Magazine Advert Analysis 2

Magazine Advert Analysis 2 by Chloe Magee

This last advert I spotted in a rock magazine is advertising a new album coming out by an artist. Within this advert the artist is wearing black, this could represent the emotions that she is feeling within her music and give a clue to what her album is about, she could also be wearing black to meet codes and conventions of rock and meet the audiences expectations of what she should look like. Within this advert the artist is also wearing a long jacket that has a hood covering some of her, this could be showing she is mysterious or doesn't want to be seen, the hood creates shadowing on her face and the hood also makes her seem intimidating to the audience. The background of this advert is red and purple merged together, this could representing how the artists emotions are murky and she isn't completely sure of how she is feeling. The red could represent anger, rage and the purple could be representing happiness and show how she is becoming happier within herself as the title of her album 'colours in the dark' could be interpreted as her finding happiness in a dark situation of rage, anger, which is what the background of this advert could be showing.
