Researching Ancillary products: Analysis of three magazine advertisements

To get a better idea of how digipaks are advertised I have looked at three different CD advertisements in two different magazines to get a better idea as you cannot find a good CD magazine advertisement online as it will only direct you to media students work so I have taken the liberty of looking through magazines to get a better idea. 



In the KERRANG magazine I found:


LED ZEPPELIN - CELEBRATION DAY 
The chosen colours would all contrast normally but here they have being made to blend together really well, creating this impressive image of the Big Ben and the River Thames. The font is simple and the text simply says the name of the album. This advertisement is my favourite as the simplicity of it makes it more effective and stand out.


                                                   In the UNCUT magazine I found:


RICHARD HOWLEY - STANDING OF THE SKYS EDGE
The advertisement for the CD is very simple; it has an image of the artist standing in an above camera shot with an impressive sky behind him. The font of the writing is the same, as is the colour, which is white. Below the advertisement is an image of what the album looks like.


                                NEIL YOUNG WITH CRAZY HORSE - PSYCHEDELIC PILL

This advertisement is quite irregular as it does not have an image of the artist or band as it usually would. Instead, it has the actual image of the album blown up to fill the page. It is very simple and the sticks to the usual 3 colour maximum rule that you would see with CD's; all of the writing is black and the fonts are the same except for the date the album is going to be released.
