This is the magazine advertisement for Laura Marlings album 'A creature I dont know' . It features the artists name and album title which is conventional for a album advert. Both the album title and artist name are in bold black writing which nake them stand out on the pale coloured background, this is done so they stand out. The overall advert is very plain and simple and it doesnt give much information about her album, like where you can buy it from or the price. A reason for this could be because her target audience are a niche audience and they will know where they can buy her album. The main focus of the advert is the large image in the centre. It looks like a drawn image of a man and a woman wrapped around each other. The image could represent the title of the album and the woman in the drawing could be wrapped around 'a creature she doesnt know'.
Laura Marling is solo folk artist signed to the London based independent record label 'WayOutWest records'. This poster would appear in less mainstream music magazines as she wouldnt appear to their audience but although NME is a mainstream magazine it is likely this poster would feature in it as they tend to promote independent labels and artists with a niche audience.
Laura Marlings audience would be a niche audience and an audience who are fans of the folk genre. She appeals to both genders but it will mainly be females aged 13 - 24 and are most likely to be in the social category E.
The poster represents the artist, her style, her image and her genre. The image represents the title of the album. It also represents her niche auidence.
