Its important to conduct magazine research before creating my own magazine advertisement as I want to reflect the traditional conventions of existing music promotion adverts.
It was with this in mind that I decided to conduct existing research to ensure authenticity in my own. Throughout this research, it was important to focus on the artists album advertisement, rather than that of a magazine cover of the artist promoting an interview.
Rihanna's magazine advertisement promoting her new album 'Loud' reflects the typical conventions of a magazine advert where the image correlates with the album, hence the front shot of Rihanna in her music video 'Only Girl In the World' that is included on the album. The artist and single name is seen clearly in large font that is easily identified by the audience. The release date is an important fixture of a magazine advert as it promotes the album release date to the audience, interestingly neither a website or the record label is included on this advertisement, creating a simple and direct advertisement for the audience.

On the right hand side of this image is the promotion advertisement for 'Jay Z- Blueprint'. I wanted to include a variety of artists in my magazine research as I believe it provides an insight into the promotion of albums and variety of presentation and structure. The advert is very simple but has a clear connection to the CD cover using the same image to create consistency. In terms of conventions this magazine advert conforms to most of the general conventions, such as; it displays the name of the artists clearly, name of the album is displayed, release date '09.11.09' also displayed clearly. As well as this the website is presented clearly to the audience "www.jayz.com' unlike Rihanna's advertisement Jay Z includes record label branding in his advert 'Roc Nation' there are no photos of the artist however the relevant imagery creates consistency, this is aspect that I will consider when producing my own magazine advertisement.
