Magazine Poster Research

Examples I have found from existing similar artists:
A simple yet powerful magazine advert from Beyonce, because she is so well known worldwide strong images can be used. No description is given. 

This advertisement from The Vaccines uses the album name which is actually a question to question the audience through the poster, very cleverly played with through advertisement. It uses the conventions of the release date been shown, quotes from music magazines and star ratings of the album from well known respected sources. The 'play.com' icon is used in the right hand side to show where the album is available from and the album itself is displayed in a small image on the left hand side, a very typical convention expected to be used in an album advert. 

This Marina and The Diamonds advert from a magazine uses the same recognizable font throughout, such as the same font for her name and song title. It is a simple advert that portrays Marina's face across and the actual picture of the album. It simply states 'available on itunes' but goes against expected conventions and doesn't use the itunes icon. 

This advert for Ellie Goulding, uses conventions of the artists name and album title placed center fold of the advert for the audience to be able to clearly read and has reviews and quotes about the album from other music magazines. Her face is the main feature of the advert, with added adjustments to her hair to fit in with the theme of 'lights' for her album title, it is simple yet effective. 

Florence and the Machine use her album image for the advert and just add extra conventional details to the advert such as dates, featured songs and different forms in which the album can be purchased. This is a good way to advertise the album as it is recognizable through using the same fonts and images.

The artist's face is a clear dominant image, using the same familiar font for her name which features on the album itself, a record label logo is seen, shows featured songs. Uses all the expected conventions for a magazine advert.
