As we have to design our own magazine advert, we have looked at a couple adverts ourselves. Our song is in the indie genre therefore we took inspiration from adverts of other indie bands. One particular advert that we liked as a group was the two door cinema club one, for their debut album tourist history.
We enjoyed various aspects of this advert, particularly the grainy effect and bizarre image of the cat with a crown. We would like to take inspiration from this and make sure our advert is somewhat different to mainstream ads. We particularly liked the font for the text, stands out well and is easy to read. However towards the bottom it is more difficult to read, however this might be done on purpose as they are tour dates; but are sold out, clearly visible with the large sold out stamp over them. The advert also has a link to the bands website which we plan to incorporate. Interestingly this has been put in bold, so to stand out more and increase traffic throughout their website, hoping to sell tickets and albums.
