Textual Analysis of magazine advertisement 3

This magazine advertisement is for the band The Vines’ album The Best Of which is an album containing all the best hits from the band.

This advertisement is very unique as its quite different to the normal advertisements which use a photo of the band. This advertisement uses the actual photo from the album cover but it stretches over the bottom of the advertisement to give more of an effect. The photo used is of loads of vines and leaves which works perfectly with the band being called The Vines. It’s a very unique idea and looks to be drawn by hand. This advertisement isn’t just one which the band aren’t really bothered about because they have used different font ideas and text sizes which make the advertisement more fun and impactful. The text ‘The Vines’ is the biggest text which is also in bold as it is the text which is the most important to the audience as they need to know who the advertisement is advertising. The album name and band name both follow each other like one sentence and are covered by leaves and vines in a unique and old fashioned style. The old fashioned style could represent that the band have been around a while and emphasising that its their greatest hits and this shows that they’ve had a very long and good career in the music industry.
