Analysis of Magazine Advertisements

The advertisement doesn't feature the artist, instead it is a point of view shot looking out at a festival crowd. I think the ad aims to ignite a sense of togetherness between the fans. It make the viewer think that there are many other fan out there and creates the feeling of wanting to be in the crowd so they aren't left out. The font used is reasonably bold and I think this reflects the character of the artist. Oasis are a well established band and I think this is why they don't feature in the ad. The large crowd reflects the artists success as this is the last album, they want to celebrate and show their success.

The album cover is the same image that is on the magazine ad. The only difference is that the magazine ad has been colour corrected. I think this has been done so that the album cover stand out more on the shelves to attract its audience whereas in a magazine it doesn't have to catch the audiences eye.

The magazine ad is similar to some of the music videos. One similarity is the use of black and white or colour correction that darkens the image. Colour correction is also used effectively in the music video Live Forever by Oasis.
