Album advert

This is an advert for Gwen Stefani's digipak.
It features a large image of her, filling the background; similar to Madonna's advert. However this image is medium shot and Gwen can be seen down to her waist as apposed to a close up image of Madonna.

The image is slightly blurred making the different colours blend. This makes the image look like a painting rather then a photograph.

It can be seen that the main image is also the image featured on the front of the album, which is in the bottom corner of the advert. This allows the audience to recognise the artist and the album.

The colours used again signify that the album is aimed at a female audience rather then a male as it uses colours such as gold, pink and white.

The advert also features the artists name; again increasing audience recognition.

The advert also features the name of the album, which is also on the album image in the bottom corner.
It also shows a popular song that is featured in the album, making the audience more attracted and wanting to but it.

Overall this advert is very similar to the previous advert that I analysed. They both shows some of the conventions of adverts for albums and digupak's. These include the artists name, the use of bright colours and some of the contents in the album.

By analysing these adverts I can now use some of the recognised conventions when creating a magazine advert for my digipak.
