Noah and The Whale magazine advert analysis


This is the advertiesment for Noah and The Whales CD/film release. It features conventional aspects of a album advert with the name of the artist and the name of the album but it takes on more of a film trailer poster layout as the album title is above the artists name, it also has star ratings and quotes which is conventional of a film advertisement, all of the ratings are from mainstream trusted magazines which people trust. There is all the information you need on the poster like when it is released, where you can buy it from and even where you can download it from. There is a large image of the band at the bottom of the poster which stands out to the audience. The image represents the band and the album, as we can see from the image it is a sunny day and they are dressed in smart/casual shirts which represents the album 'the first days of spring' and the way they are dressed also represents them as a band.

Noah and The Whale are a mainstream band signed to the independent record label 'young&lost club'. This poster would probably be in NME as NME is a mainstream magazine and has a wide range of mainstream and niche audiences who this poster may appeal to.

Noah and The Whale would appeal to the target audience of both genders aged between 13 - 24 in social category E, which is a very mainstream audience and also to the fans of their genre which is indie/folk so they could also have more a niche audience as folk isnt a very mainstream genre. 

This advertisement really represents the band and their image and style. We can see from the style of the poster and from the clothes they are wearing what kind of genre they are and we would also be to tell who there target audience is.
