Magazine Advertisement deconstructions

This magazine advert for the Arctic Monkeys is the closest to what I plan to do for my own product. The font and background are rather basic to match with the albums colour scheme, which also helps to make the text stand out. The critic reviews are placed where there is some empty space to make it stand out more and attract more attention from the audience. The name of the band, album name and featured songs are both located at the top and lower sections (respectively) of the page and are clearly visible, however the band name attracts more attention that the album name and the featured songs, and they are in a much smaller font and hard to immediately notice.
The main image is also focused at the centre of the page, which is also what I plan to do for m own product. An element commonly found on magazine adverts is critic reviews, which is something I could use for my own product so that it conforms with magazine advert conventions.

Due to the fairly dark colour scheme, the text immediately stands out and gains the attention of the audience. The size of the album cover also helps to draw attention as it takes up most of the space on the advert.
This is very similar to what I plan to do for my own product.  The two people featured in the advert standing against a fairly plain background is a good basic plan of my advert. the layout is also similar to my plan, with the main image (the focus of the page) being roughly in the centre. The black and white colour scheme is also something I will use for my own product, but it will be used on a smaller scale.

The album title is clear, despite the lack of contrast between the font and background, and is the main focus of the advert and draws the audiences attention
The layout of this advert is also similar to my own product, wit the band name located at the top of the page, the release date located at the lower section of the page along with songs featured on the album at the bottom. However the colour scheme of the background reduces how much the white text contrasts, which prevents any smaller text that may not be noticeable, even more so.
