Album Advert

Here is my final album advert: 

A picture of the front cover is included centrally and takes up most of the advert space as the purpose of my album advert is to sell my artist's album and having it as the key focus of the advert allows the audience to familiarise themselves with how it looks so they recognise it in stores.  This increases the likelihood of the buying the album and the unique abstract image creates an enigma (Barthes) that can only be solved by buying the album and learning/understanding the artist and their music. I also featured a star rating and reviews at the top of my advert to give the album a sense of renown, therefore, people buy the album to see if the album lives up to these reviews.  release date, website to preorder simlicity
