Research in CD posters and advertising.

This CD advertisement is featured in an alternative music magazine. This magazine attracts stereotypes who would be interested in this genre of music. This CD advertisement is not typical and conventional of a magazine poster advertising a cd at all which connotes that they are being alternative to represent their type of genre which is being alternative.
This CD poster is a blown up version of the album cover. The colours black take up the majority of the poster which represents their genre of being a metalcore band as black is a stereotypical colour to be used on this genre of musics media platforms as it attracts the audience they are appealing to as they will recognise this a being a feature of metal core were as bright coloured cd covers are usually representative of pop musis
The poster includes a date release for the CD which is needed on a advertisement for a CD so that the audience knows when its available to buy. It also gives a site name where you can pre order the CD and this is also a good feature to include and i will use this feature on my poster.

This is the album cover (right) which the poster is advertising.
