Coventions and functions of a magazine advert

I have researched the functions and conventions of a magazine advert to help me when making my own magazine advert. 

Functions are:

  • To Promote the artist
  • To sell the song
  • To be eyecatching- visually striking
Conventions are:

  • Song/Album title
  • Visual links to videos- Intertextuality
  • Reviews (Newspaper, Music press, Celebrities/DJ's- Trend Setters)
  • Condensed information on content
  • Release date
  • Artist name
  • Where is it available to purchase (HMV,Amazon)
  • Record label logo
  • Website (official artist site, Myspace)
Here are some magazine adverts that i really admire and are similar to my artist. 


This magazine advert really stood out to me as it portrays a strong female. Although bright colours have not been used, i like how it has been kept simple yet classy.
