Bands and solo artists also get a lot of awareness out to the general public through magazine adverts, advertising their new albums on either a full A4 page or a half an A4 page. The adverts main intention is to catch the eye of the reader when they are flicking through a music magazine, such as Q and Kerrang. The typical conventions of a band/solo artists advert promoting a brand new album are:
- Bright colours to attract people's attention
- Large writing of the album name and band
- The date of when the album is being released
- The record label the band/solo artist are with
- A website link or iTunes link
Another example below is Unimagine, their album Hands Like Houses has a very unique magazine advert, all their relevant information about the album, such as name, date, record label, is at the top of the advert, then the bottom half is a large bright photo which would attract the readers view because of it being unique and the colours used in it.
