Comparing Magazine Adverts

On the right you can see our magazine advert for your ska album. Below are two adverts for existing ska albums. We tried to use a similar look to ska magazine adverts like the two shown here. One way we have done this is by using mainly just black and white. This is a very obvious feature of most ska adverts so we thought it was important that we do the same. Another thing we have done is include images of the band members. We thought this was important because the band and the instruments are a very important part of ska music and so featured on most ska adverts. Finally, we have included the album cover on our magazine advert. We did this because it shows people what they are looking for and sells our album. It will also promote the record label as more people are likely to recognise it. Album covers are featured on a lot of other ska album magazine adverts like the one below (right).
