I have chosen to analyze a Foo Fighters album advert out of the magazine 'Q'. The layout of the advertisement is simple, text on the top, a photo in the centre and more text below. The colours are eyecatching and would make the reader want to look at the page to see what the advert is about. The text is very bold and also stands out, this specifically shows the audience what the advert is about. The colours that have been used really mix well with each other, the advert kind of looks 3D in a way due to the photo in the middle. The bold white text stands out and then the smaller light blue text backs it up.
The text and images work together well. The text shows the reader exactly what he is looking at whilst the images shows the reader the actual band and not just some random photograph. The advert is clever because of the way it has been designed, the image features the guitarist 'Pat Smear' he has came from Nivarna and is now with Foo Fighters, the image shows that the band are all now together. There is no real icons which focus on the band genre, however the colours do link well with the fact that the foo fighters are quite heavy and lights would play a large part in one of there gigs.
The advert tells the reader who the producer is and who mixed the album, this is giving them credit. The advert also shows links to important websites which link to the band. Another small thing the advert has Is a link to the play.com site. Play have obviously wanted to advertise on the advert so that people go onto the site and buy the record of play.com. The advert doesn't link with the target audience however I would expect Nivarna style older and young teenagers to be interested in the band. This is Foo Fighters 7th Studio album and this would obviously mean lots of people like them
