Music Magazine Article Analysis




Above is an example of a music magazine advert for George Ezra's debut album 'Wanted on Voyage' from the music magazine Q. The magazine Q is a popular music magazine which publishes copies monthly in the UK. Unlike the last magazine advert for Jessie J this advert is not in the same poster style, but is much more article based. This advert is much more based around the artist themselves and introduces the new artist to readers that may not know who he is, as the large title 'Introduces' suggests at the top of the page as this shows that this article is about the artists experiances of the industry so far as a new artist. As this article was wrote when George Ezra's debut album was released it does not in fact include the album title in large text in the article which is still effective in publicising the album as George Ezra only has one album which means if people are interested in him as an artist they will then be more likely to go out and buy his album. 

The article is presented in such a way that the important aspects of the article are made clear and are eye catching. For example, a photograph of the artist they are talking about takes up a large amount of space of the double page spread which not only shows the readers who the artist is but also helps to balance out the amount of text so that there is no daunting paragraphs of texts that readers may not bother to read. Also, the artist name 'George Ezra' is in a large font size and also is in bold. This again, similar to the picture, establishes to the reader who the artist is and what the article is about. Also the magazines name 'Q' is also quite large in the top left corner of the page, which reminds the reader what magazine they are reading.
