Music Magazines Advertisement Analysis - Jessie J

Music magazines advertisement analysis

Jessie J

I will be analysing a music magazine advertisement of ‘Jessie J. Magazine adverts tend to appear in magazines when a singer is releasing a new album as it means they can attract their audience and give them an insight into the number of songs on the album etc. also, another benefit of music magazine advertisement is that it's cheaper more efficient way of marketing their product as other forms of marketing are a lot more expensive such as TV adverts etc. on the other hand of advertising in only music magazines is that only people that buy music magazines will see the advert and therefore their audience won’t increase, it just means the current fans get an insight into the new album as people that aren’t fans will not want to buy the magazine necessarily because it has that advertisement inside.

 Within the image, it shows the artist of which is ‘Jessie J’, the clear theme with this magazine advertisement is black and gold. As you can see, she is wearing jewellery of which is gold ear rings. This connotes that she has a lot of money or wealth. The artist is also wearing black and gold which goes nicely with the theme that is consistent. The titles within this are gold.

 Moreover, the actual image of her is a close up, this could suggest that they want to show her off to the audience to show she is the main character and want the publicity to be on her. Also, the close up shows an angry look on her face which is non-stereotypical to see a woman with an aggressive look on their face as this is not an expression women do. Furthermore, the artist’s website is written at the bottom of the advert which shows that she is trying to get more page views on her website or she might sell merchandise on her website which connotes that she wants more money/wealth.

 Within the magazine advertisement, the information that is seen on the advert is limited and there is not a lot to see or read. You see a few titles and the image of the artist on the cover. The artist's name is right in the centre of the advertisement which has clearly been thought through because they want to make her centre of attention. The album name is directly under the artist's name however it does not stand out as much, but this is not a major problem.
