Digipak advertisement

Not only having a good CD cover promotes the artist and their albums but also with the help of advertising, with magazine ads its lets peop le know you’re in business. It conveys the artist’s music and type of genre they offer towards their target audience

Here below are three good examples of the way artist use adverts to promote themselves towards their audience.

Eminem 

This is a very interesting picture of Eminem, he has strong pose almost as if he is reaching for his weapon again reinforcing his rapping,  he’s for real (from the hood) .The use of dark colors make him stand out on the cover as well as the artistic typography for the title just look at the way the letter "E" is positioned(one faces forward the other faces back) but still readable.

linkin park

Again this example has good reference to artistic style, with a background just plain despite a weak composition. It is still able to capture the eyes of the audience as on one of the main vocalist is looking directly at the camera which is the audience (sort of drags us in) the typography is my favorite aspect of this above example because of its position and font.

soulja boy and 50 cent

This magazine is very different to the two above in terms of composition and lightening. This magazine shows two rappers(50 cent and soulja boy) standing together posing again notice the body language look at the way soulja boy is standing holding his jeans up, reinforcing all this street rap. 

To finally round of I do like the artistic style of a music ad as they add a little more emphasizes and effect on the detail which then enforces the creativity of the artist. Also they are more attractive to look at than classic simple styles.
