Research of Magazine Advert's
In the most magazine advertisement
the main image is presenting the artist and in come case the album cover. The pictures
are taken by use of close-up or just simply show some image which relates to
the album. The text is the largest and mostly uses the font which catches the
audience eyes. Also, the text includes album name and the artist/band name. In
the corners we can see the logos of the companies which promote and distribute
the albums (where we can get them). The colours usually match the text and the
image. The background is black to establish the text and make it more visible. In
some magazine advertisement the reviews and ratings are presented to make the album
more interesting for the audience. Also, in some cases the quoting’s are included.
Based on this knowledge
I will try to create a similar magazine advertisement for my album, which would
follow the conventions of existing products.
Record Label
These are examples of
the existing record labels; the convention for all of them is that they are in black
and white colours. Some labels incorporate the use of an image or stencil. In most
cases the name appears in the bottom part of the logo, also the All the designs
create a geometric shape making them easy to be placed in the corner or the centre
of a digipak.
After making sure
that there is no record label like this I decided to call my record label “X”, which
would indicate the X factor which is seen as a unique and special factor
especially in relation to the music.
I have created my own
record label by looking at the existing ones and taking them as an example what
is conventional for the record label to be and look like.
