Case Studies (CD, digipack, magazine advert) #2

 
 

This advert uses a lot of assumed knowledge as there are no photographs of the artists it is assumed that the viewer will make a connection between the symbol and the artist, as it relates to the image of the vocalist of the band as he often wears feather in his hair when appearing in the videos It is all light with the contrast of dark colours which is quite common feature of many adverts by this band. The positioning of the object on the page is very central which makes it a focus point and emphasizes its importance for the mood of the image. Text is positioned at the bottom of the page to connote that it is not the most important aspect of this advert. However, I believe that it is much easier to relate to this advert only after you have heard the song therefore it reduces the power of advertisement as it is only relevant to the people who watched the video, instead of appealing to a wide range of audiences and attract new people.
At the top of the page there is a logo that appears in all of their adverts. It is important because the viewer can instantly relate the font to the band and therefore a greater effect is achieved rather than if they have put their name in just plane font.
The back cover has a big logo of the band located in the centre, the transparency has been decreased so that it serves as a background for the copyright information which is written in small dark font and also positioned in the centre. The main aspect that stands out to me about this back cover is that the focus point is not the copyright information but the names of band members which are written in bold and positioned at the top of the page.
