The Felice Brother - Album Advert

 

For this album cover advertisement that we are going to analyse, we looked at all of the features that are visible to the untrained eye.

To begin with, at the top of the advert the audience is able to see clearly what the bands name is as the text is emboldened so it is made easily recognisable to the audience which they are trying to entertain and inform.

Underneath the name of the band, in smaller text which isn't as easy to read or recognise, the band and the production company have put quotes from certain magazines and newspaper articles. This allows the band to advertise themselves and allows them to promote themselves by showing the audience that they are trying to inform, what other people think of the band and what they think of the new album that they have coming out.

The picture that is the main focus of the advertisement shows the audience a bit about what the band are trying to achieve. By facing away from the audience and being such a distance away in the picture, it allows the band to show what they are about but it also doesn't give away too much. Also, with the band being in the background of the photo, it is showing the audience as little as possible about the actual band as they may want to represent themselves through their music and through their lyrics in the songs.

Towards the middle of the advert, there are two pictures which could be the album front cover and back cover but this isn't made clear so it is extremely difficult for somebody to interpret as although it says the name of the band on the right hand side picture, it doesn't clearly state the purpose of what the photos actually are.

Once again, under the photos towards the bottom, the production team and promotional team have decided to intertwine some quotes from other newspapers and magazines that are able to promote how good the band are and it is also allows them to share peoples honest opinions on the new album.

At the very bottom of the advertisement for the new album, the band and the production company have decided to display where they will be selling the new album (play.com) and who has produced the album and who has had a hand in deciding how the advert will look.
