Magazine Advert and digipak analysis

Upon first views it is clear to see that the adverts  in magazines and digipaks have clear characteristics, these being:

• There will be at least one band members face clearly visible
• If not there will be a symbol that is recognizable to the band
• The colours are bold - with red and black being dominant
• There is a large presence of war/death often shown - ways in which this is done is through the colour red being blood like, and through many back ground shots of destroyed landscapes or weapons
• The saturation on the pictures is also lowered, as well is the brightness
• The pictures shown can also show two clear distinctions - the colours and themes are organic, or they are metallic.
