Advert Analysis 1

This is a killers advert  portraying the new album which was released in 2009, it uses vibrant colours such as deep purples and yellows and the album cover is made up of bigger and smaller circles to give a collage effect of the dusk moon like its just setting. The only bit of the c.d. cover is the 'Day and Age' wording which is in normal font i think this is important as it stands out as it should. Then as a whole its an advert shows the recent release of the album, showing the album cover and giving hints of what is on it like at the bottom it says 'featuring the single human' to tempt in buying the c.d. as they might have heard the single track previous as it was released into the charts before the album was released, this in a whole is what adverts do, persuade the audience to buy the item which it is showing. This killers advert is quite clever as it uses different colours and shades to give the setting and the effect of the use of the circles give it character like it something thats never been done an exclusive album, to go with there image e.g brandon flowers (e.g a montage effect to go with the title day and age as it a dusk setting and the world is getting older or coming of age in a person and looking at the day/dusk in a different way).

This is the album cover as you can see the magazine advert is exactly the same as this except of the dates and saying its a brand new album. The only thing that is different is the colour of the titles, in the magazine advert 'the killers' is white and 'day and age' is black. But in the album cover this is purple and white like its a contrast between the two covers. Also to point across the album cover is a lot brighter than the magazine advert and i think this is to show that this is the real thing.
