Magazine Research/Music Adverts

By: Idowu Kukoyi
Essence magazine mainly aimed at Afro caribbean women. The woman on the cover is an actor and shows evidence of voyeuristic qualities.

This issue in particular is about making an individuals life better or how one can improve upon thier life. I will use this magazine to help develop our magazine by making our artist the centre of attention and stories that will benefit readers lives.

Ebony is a monthly issued magazine, aimed at the African-American audiences. Producers usually publish images of successful black individuals on the front covers. On this specific magazine, Jennifer Hudson is the star

Elle is a worldwide magazine of French origin that focuses on women's fashion, beauty, health, and entertainment. Elle is also the world's largest fashion magazine. Jennifer Lopez is a worldwide icon, and I have noticed well-known people end up on cover magazine like Elle. J- Lo clearly uses voyeurism to grab readers attention.


Elle magazine focuses on style and personal issues, it is clear that  the main target audience are women, which explains why role model type actors and singers appear on the cover. This magazine will help when producing a magazine cover for our artist as it shows the individual should always be the main focus and voyeurism should be used as it grabs readers attention.


Q magazine is the UK's biggest music magazine where the likes of John Lennon and Bob Dylan have been on the cover of.


Cheryl Cole is the main focus of attention on this magazine cover. She's wearing bright red lipstick, which is nicely colour co- ordinated with the colour scheme of the magazine. Cole is wet and that can be seen as very seductive, as well as, licking her ring. In the magazine Cheryl Cole's name is bigger than the album name, which is very effective. This magazine cover will help when producing a magazine cover because it shows me the importance of the artist being the centre of attention in order to engage readers.








Music Advert
Whilst undertaking this research I have found that their is not many magazine music adverts, I have found adverts produced by A2 students specifically on the RnB genre, however we have found little adverts for RnB female artist.

Rihanna is the centre of attention in the advert and it is identical to her album cover. From this I will consider when making my own practice task to make sure I recreate the theme of our CD cover onto our music advert. 


















This however is promoting Madonna tour, however also has a her album in the left side corner of the advert. The advert is very colourful with where to buy the album stated clearly.













Our Music Advert

We had to change our advert, although the images fits our genre, we would be marked down as we didn't use a creative font or include our CD cover which is common in female Rnb covers.



















Here is our New and improved music advert:
