Analysis of Magazine Advert

The poster is advertising a Live CD and DVD, this is obvious to see as it is in bold, capitals in white which contrasts with the negative background. The name of the product being advertising is 'Milwaukee At Last!!!' which is eye-catching, as the text is bright and multi-coloured, which contrasts to the black background. The artists name 'Rufus Wainwright' is featured in between the dvd title, which makes the poster quirky to fit with the artists image. The relevant information of when the product is released 'out 7th september' is featured at the center, bottom of the advert and includes information about what the dvd shall contain 'contains 4 exclusive postcards'. In the bottom left hand corner is the artists official website 'www.rufuswainwright.com', which is in much smaller text than the rest of the information as it is more insignificant. On the bottom right hand side of the advert is the artists record label 'DECCA records - a universal record company' and where you can buy the product from 'amazon co uk'.

To the right of the advert is an image of the artists, as if he is performing live, which shows that the product is a live CD and DVD. this is needed for demands of the record label, so the audience know who the artist is.

i think that the advert is aimed at a target audience of indie teenagers as the advert is quirky, which fits the the artists image, as he is wearing colourful clothing, which the text mimics.
