Research and Analysis of Album Release Adverts

This is a promotional poster for the release of the 20th anniversary album from The Stone Roses.
The three main colour of the poster is black, which perhaps is because the album is of the rock genre, and black reflects this. The majority of the text is white, red and blue, which is perhaps to signify that the band are English and this is to display this fact.
The title 'The Stone Roses 20th Anniversary' is in a gold text colour, with the 20th being the most dominent part of the poster. The '0' of the 20 is a half-cut citrus fruit, which is reminiscent in many other of The Stone Roses works, I found out by research.
The reviews from magazines and such are also a very dominant part of the poster, with five in total. Again, the text here is red, white and blue. The most complimentary review is placed at the top of the page above the title of the album, in larger writing than the other reviews. This is larger and bolder than the other reviews possibly to influence the audience to buy it, and make them believe that they will be buying 'the greatest album of all time', as this is the opinion of the people behind NME magazine.
Underneath the poster, there is a statement declaring who produced the album, with the album being described as 'groundbreaking', which is an technique used to persuade the reader that the album is amazing.
Underneath the graphical image that is given, there is track and album information, and this is perhaps in a smaller font as it is not the most important information for the audience to read, however it is there if the audiences' attention has been attracted by the poster and they want to read more about the poster. In either bottom corner of the poster, there is a record-label logo, and then a logo for HMV, stating where the audience can buy the album.

This is the promtional poster for the release of Gwen Stefani's Love.Angel.Music.Baby album. The poster is very much similar to the design featured on the cover for her album. The main feature of the poster is the huge image of the artist, Gwen Stefani. This image is also seen on the front cover of the album, however on the poster, a lot of it has been cut out. This album cover is featured in the bottom right hand corner of the poster though, which links the poster in witht the album it's promoting.
The artist's name is displayed along the bottom of the image, and is in fancy old english style gold font, which is very luxurious. This fits in with the image, as Gwen is holding a crown and staff


















This is the promotional poster for the release of Mika's 'The Boy Who Knew Too Much' album.
