In this advert of Ellie goulding the purpose of the magazine advert is to promote her new album, the way this this has been achieved is by having Ellie (the artist) in the centre of the advert and also by making her the largest object on the advert so she is not easily missable, her being the artist makes her the the most important object on the poster and the main attraction. underneath is her name in a very 1940s broadway style font symbolising that she is a main attraction in the music industry and is very glamorous and stunning performer. This is also shown by her album name "lights" showing that she is much like a shining star and is in the lime light. very last are reviews of her album by music critics, the review that this album has received by critics is fabulous and has gained a 4 out of 5 star review, the reason for this is that if an album is well reviewed by critics then it encourages more people to purchase the album.
This advert is for florence and the machine slightly differs to Ellie goulding as it does not take up as much of the advert and it has more of the artists body in the advert and more of a colourful background symbolising that she is a very wild and colourful personality, this wold suggest that her music is not very mainstream and has a twist tot he pop genre the colours used show a bright artist who is more motivated by good thought and music rather that more emotional and depressing songs Other than the artists image on the adverts there is not much else to the advert including the style of font. compared to Ellie Goulding the font if dull and boring as if its all been done before, a benefit of the font is that even though it is not colourful or it is a stand out font this means that is easier and more assessable for the audience to read.
