Ancillary task: Magazine Advert

What is a magazine advert?

 

 

A magazine advert is usually used for promotional purposes. In our case it would be to promote and sell our music video to our target audience. Music companies do this to increase sales of their product to make money. Magazine adverts create awareness of the product they are promoting so that their audience will know that their product is available to buy. Companies would have to choose carefully which magazine to promote with, as it is vital with targetting the right audience to buy their product. A magazine advert is a branding technique along with a digipak and these techniques are used by companies to promote the band or artist. Usually they use the same fonts and colour schemes to make their product have a unique selling point within the market.



As part of the Ancillary Tasks we have to create a magazine cover therefore i decided to analyse a Billboard magazine which focuses on a similar target audience to the target audience for our music video as well as the same genre. This has given me more of an idea of what we should include when we create our Magazine cover.
