Ancillary Task 2 Research

Our second ancillary task, after the Digi pack will be to create a magazine advert for our page. Shown below is some basic research I have found. I will look at these and then go on to do specific research into magazine adverts. 
Ellie Goulding: 
As you can see, my research started as rather broad. I searched artists that I knew of to see if any adverts took my fancy. Ellie Goulding is an artist who I know can sometimes write depressing songs. I therefore, did some research into her album covers. This is one I found. 

The example below is that of Jessie J, a female pop artist. The advert stood out to me as rather bold and eccentric  Although this does not reflect the character of Alice, I still find myself intrigued by the body language of the model and I feel drawn to the advert itself. 


 N-Dubz:
This advert shows a pop artist advert.I do not believe I will use this advert for any further use as I believe it is too bright and portrays a vibe that we do not want for our own project. 

Marina and the Diamonds:

I quite like this advert. The use of the album cover being used on the bottom right of the poster is a feature we are being to like a lot. It is something we will look at in our specific research. The duller colours here are also effective in my opinion. 

Plan B:

Again as you can see, the album cover is present on the bottom left. I really like the use of colour in this particular advert. It is mostly black, white and red with a hint of yellow. I would like to further look at this (and adverts like this in my more specific research). 

Beyonce's advert above, is rather similar to Plan B's. I really like the black and white effect.

I will now go on to do specific  research, looking for more successful posters and looking more specifically at the research I have found already.
