Magazine advert analysis
The advert that I am analysing is Panic! At The Disco's Pretty Odd album which was released on March 24th 2008. I have chosen this advert as the band are a part of my chosen genre of research and to make a music video on. The name of the band is at the top and is and brings the eye of audience to the band name, the name is not easily recognisable as Panic tend to have a different font for their name depending on the situation and it never seems to be the same so people can not just see a font and think 'ooh Panic'. The main colours are purple and yellow with the purple giving a mysterious, quirky feel which fits in with the title of the album 'pretty odd' as the title could be seen as mysterious. The image of the flowers with a hole in the middle suggests a gateway which could also help with the idea that the poster is 'pretty odd' or mysterious, the flowers could also been seen as calming or relaxing which could suggest that in all this 'oddness' and mysteriousness it is not alarming but happy and not something to worry about. This could sugget that the songs are not going to be what you are going to expect and be 'pretty odd' but from the flowers suggest that it is nothing to worry about. The title of the album is underneath the name of the band and is in a different font, this could be so the audience can differentiate from the two titles.The only picture on the advert is that of some flowers with the title of the album in it, which is pretty random and odd, which fits with the name of the album. Below this picture is some details of when the album is released in shops, the website and the publisher, there is also some details about a deluxe version of the album which the audience may like to buy. I would say that there is not specific age or gender target population, but from the advert if I had to say one it would be younger females, due to the flowers in the picture and the colour scheme being that of yellow and purple, which are typically more feminine colours.
