Something we decided to do in our ancillary tasks to look at how album artwork and magazine adverts link. For example, Biffy Clyro, an artist in our genre, on their single 'Saturday Superhouse' used the same design for their magazine advertisement and their CD cover. It has a very stripped back and simple image. It also links to some of the imagery created by the lyrics of the song (eg, the crows represent 'darkness')
The advert also includes lots of important details, like the band website, the record label website, the track release date and in what formats the song will be available.
Some adverts include reviews of the album, which make the band sound really exciting and make readers want to buy the album.
