Advert anaylisis

Paramore- Brand new eyes



This Paramore advert is very plain, simple and effective. It has the main information needed in a black plain bold font. The bland grey background contrasting with the yellow butterfly creates a great striking, original effect which reflects on the band. The choice of a butterfly leaves a lot of imagination for the reasoning behind the butterfly. I personally think it’s to show the band growing and learning to 'fly' off into their own world as they are at the height of the career.

Blink 182



The black, white and red effect used as the 3 colours on the advert creates a bold and unique stamp on the band. The typical stance shows a typical rock band. The mise en scene of the tattoos and band T-shirts also create this rock, tough look which reflects the band well. As one of the band members isn’t even looking at the camera it creates a natural feel within the band which works well and I think would be liked by typical ‘blink 182 fans’. Overall I like the photo although not sure about the background within the photo.

Michael Jackson



The use of the 3 colours is also found in Michael Jackson’s ‘bad’ advert. It is a very strong image of him which shows his type of character and his stage presence being strong. The white background in my opinion makes the advert a little bit too simple but I like the use of the red writing with the word ‘bad’ it creates mystery and excitement which is what Michael Jackson is famous for his exuberant performances. By used his name on the side this is his signature font and title which gives familiar audience a constant reminder that he is Michael Jackson. I like the advert although I think it is a little too bland.

Gwen stefani



The strong image of Gwen shows that she is in control of the image and the main focus within the shot. The mise en scene of the glitter, dimonds and glamerous objects creates a rich feel which makes he seem high class and famous. I like the small image of the CD cover in the corner, this would be something i would considering using in my own project as i think it promotes the artist well. The writing also reflects a rich feel as its very grand which correlates with the image and works well as an advert.

Killers

This advert is very random to the band, by using a half naked woman it draws in readers straight away but mainly contrasts with the male band. The 'killers' title is very well known and works well as a iconic symbol, so fans know straight away who the band is which works well a promotion method.
