KH - Magazine Conventions

Magazine adverts are used to promote the artist and sell their material. It is important for the advert to be eye catching, so that readers will observe the advert and notice the artist and consider buying the product.


To create a successful advertisement, there are many conventions that should be included, to provide the reader with information about the product:
  • Artist name
  • Image of album cover; this provides an eye catching element and means that the readers will know what it looks like when going to buy it if that's what they choose. 
  • The release date
  • Where you can purchase it; online companies e.g. amazon, iTunes
  • Record label logo
The advertisement needs to have some relation to the music video so that a constant link is maintained and the audience can understand the mag ad.
