Magazine adverts

The advert above is being advertised for a musician but it is not helping to advertise any type of their  music in the advert. It is them helping to advertise a different product for another company that has chosen them because they are a well known music artist and they believe this will help them to sell their product. This is good for the company selling the product because it gives off the impression that this person is using this product as well and hop that this will encourage people who know this artist to buy this product as well. Although this is not advertising any of this persons music it may still help the sales of their work because people will see that they are still working and will want to know/find out whether or not they are still producing music.

This advert is all about advertising this persons new album. It clearly states whose album it is and if people aren't too sure there is an image of the person as well on the advert to help make it een clearer to an audience member if it wasn't already. This is good because it is so obvious who the artist is that anyone who read/saw the article wouldn't be able to get them confused with anyone else. Also it shows the release date of their new album in big bold writing which is effective because it makes it clear when the album us released and it also says where you can get it from (in stores and online) which is good as well because it is telling people where to go to get this new album and how they can get it. 

This last advert is advertising dominantly a drink but also it is helping to promote someones new album coming out as well. At the top of the page it says 'Your time to shine' which could be making a reference to both the drink being advertised and the artists new album as well. The fact that it is advertising the drink is quite irrelevant to why the musician is on the advert because it is not even showing them using the drink it has an image of them performing, which could show that they was not exactly aware or interested in the drink being promoted at all. It could be that they are both part of the same parent company and they have been put together in the same advert because the image the musician has could help to sell the drink. However, it does also advertise the new album of the musician next to the drink, whicih is not as bold but still there helping to promote the album release. It says that the album is available now and who the artist is to make it clear whose album is being advertised to perhaps increase the success of the sales of both the drink and the album. It seems as if the artist has been put on the advert because they are quite popular and need help to promote the sales of their new album but also they are helping to promote the drink because they are a well known artist and the company are using him to appeal to a specific target audience making them want to buy this drink.
