Magazine advert analysis:



This advertisement is for the release of Green Days album "American Idiot"
It is a very simple layout, using only three bold colours (black, white and red) which allows the image to stand out to the reader.

The main images is that of a hand holding a grenade, representing anger, violence or war. This connation is added to further with the grenade being coloured red - adding to the sense of anger.
However, the colour red respresents the image in another way. as the grenade has been created to resemble a love heart shape, the colour red coloud also symbolise love and passion, possibly for someone or a place, maybe America as the text is also shown as red.

The Advert shows both the Bands and Albums name on the image, the bands name being represented as more important, as the font size is bigger and white, against a white background, allowing it to be the first thing a reader would notice on the advertisement.

The advert also shows the record label responsible for the productuon and distribution of the album, in a small size at the bottom left hand corner of the page - as the reader may not care for which label the band came from, and they still get their share of the money made on the album through the advertisement.
