Magazine Advert Analysis





The first magazine advert I have chosen to analyse is for The Stone Roses, "The Stone Roses - remastered". The background image is a birds-eye view of a map, with what looks like a paint-splat where the information about the album is. There is also some images of oranges, representing the letter 'o' and then red, white and blue. There are also badges with ratings from Q, Mojo and NME magazine.


The layout is fairly simple, with the band name top centre, with the information below this. The red, white and blue is again used, representing Great Britain. Also, the ratings are dotted about like badges, which makes the layout less structured.


The colour scheme contains mainly red, white, blue and yellow font. The Stone Roses looks like its meant to look like cardboard. The shot is a birds-eye view with "The Stone Roses" planted on top.


The typography is all fairly basic, all in capital letters, so it looks clear. Overall I feel the design looks simple and effective, although when I create mine I want it to have a clearer colour scheme and to try to make it look more simplistic.
