Advert Analysis

The Stereophonics look Calm and carry on album cover shows , the water rising, yet they don't care they are going to "keep calm and carry on" they look nice and relaxed to suite the mood of the album. The color pallete of the album is very neutral, with mainly blues and greys.the only vibrant colors in the artwork come from the table in which the band are sitting, this draws the viewers eye into the centre of the bands position and gives each member an equal view.
The bands name is in bold which strengthens the 'corperate logo' of the product.
The band are wearing very dark, dull colors... the colors they wear stand out to a certain extent but don't overpower the background...both the background and the foreground compliment each other so well.
The release date and different media format's are also advertised at the bottom of the artwork, however they are in a white font, in my opinion this is to contrast between the band logo etc.

the gorillaz focus on the cartoony effects as their band image and as a result of this the plastic beach album cover is in cartoon its the world of the gorillaz.
the album features an island, the island is lavished with expensive items such as a penthouse style building...in my opinion this could be the band symbolising their rise to fame. in my opinion the island also looks similar to a cartoon style face, this cartoon theme is a trademark of the bands. the colours in the artwork are highly contrasting, the bright colours all come from the island, this gives of the impressin that the island is a really fun place to be compared to the dull mircy water in the foreground.
the band logo is in the foreground also, in my opinion this is to make it stand out... the bright text and the dull water creates a high contrast.

The advertisement for foo fighters says it all FF due to the large fan base they already have, the image shows the words greatest hits it doesnt really need much to grab attention.At the bottom of the advertisement it says including best of you,the pretender and time like these , this alerts the fans as they are favourites, also the band show a new song wheels.people will by the album just to listen to the new song.

her the beatles are the height of the career in the picture , the bottom right of the advertisement shows the record company apple, the advertiement is trying to sell the classic beatles singles. it has all the single covers underneath.
