Codes and Conventions of a magazine advertisement for Music Albums

We researched magazine adverts for albums before we created our own. I researched what the codes and conventions were of magazine adverts:

• The band/artist will appear on the advert 
• The artist name will appear on the adverts 
• Album artwork will appear somewhere on the advert  
• The album name will be on the advert 
• The band logo  normally appears on the advert
• The music company logo will be displayed on the advert 
• The realise date will almost always appear on the advert normally near the bottom 
• The CD cover will also be displayed on the advert
• It will have its own colour scheme that doesn't reflect the magazines own colour scheme
• Some have a catchy tag line

Once we looked at the codes and conventions of magazine adverts we then looked at an advert in a magazine at a few adverts. I then analysed a few of the magazine adverts and pointing out all the codes and conventions that have been used.
