Analysis of Magazine Advert - blink 182

This is a magazine advert for blink 182's album 'Neighborhoods'. The layout and design of the advert is very simplistic with a picture of the album taking up the main part of the picture. he advert then includes some features which are key to any magazine advert for an album.
The name of the album, who it's by, when it's coming out, the website of the band and then the record label/s the band are signed to. In some adverts there are new technologies such as QR Codes and the different formats that the album will be produced on. I intent to include a QR Code in my magazine advert. This advert is very simple being as the band itself had been on hiatus for a long time and this would be their first album in eight years so there was much speculation and hype in regards to this album. Also because the album has the name of the band on the front instead of the name of the album, the target audience will recognise immediately who the album is by. The advert also includes a band logo in the bottom left hand corner which I thought about doing for my advert but I don't want to got into the trouble of making my advert look too crowded and have too much on it.
