Rihanna's Talk that Talk Album Magazine Advert
This magazine cover is very simple and does not consist of a lot of writting and photos.
On this blog I am going to analysis the different codes of a magazine advert.
- Name of band/ artist and album
- Date of album release
- Band/artist image/ style
- Featuring songs
- Form of release (CD, download)
- Either photograph or artwork as main image
- Record company
- Bands website – myspace /official page
- Critical quotes, ratings
- Set colour scheme
In this advert we see the text of the band and album at the top of the advert, this stands out because it is the only piece of writing on it and at the top, they have done this so the audience looks at this first. The album is released n the 11.21.11 and because this is an american advert the date is different to how we normally see it. The month is the first set of numbers and and the date it is released is the second set. This has been put on the advert in the middle just above the logo where you can get the song. This advert is very small and doesnt include a lot of the codes of a magazine advert, but the imagery they have used is very simply put portrays the artist to her normall lifestyle and how the audience normally sees her in her music videos. Which is she looks quite dark and twisted with her tongue sticking out licking her lips. The other imagery used is another picture of her smoking and the smoke coming out of her mouth. This is how she is portraying herself in the music videos she has produced, 'We found love' is all about drugs and vibrante and this is how she has portrayed her advert. In this magazine advert it does not show the featuring songs but a lot of the songs she has produced have music videos and have been released for the public so they know what songs they will be listening to when buying the album. This advert is promoting fans to download the song through itunes by the big logo underneath the release the date, because itunes is very popular, this is the easiest way to download to ipods nd mp3s. The rest of the magazine advert does not show much more information, the photography only shows one photo of rihanna as a whole and a miniture which is the album cover, tyhe photo of Rihanna shows her as rough and quite scary this actually reflects on her personality and the songs on the album. This album does not show critics response or ratings. The colour scheme is very white, the clothing is white and background too, the only things that stand out are her red lips and coloured hair. Also the writting.
