Below I have scanned in a variety of different magazine advertisements that I've come across and put them into a presentation. By flicking through the controls, you can see these examples side by side with the album released by the artist that is being promoted. It is clear that there is always some form of recurring theme between the albums and adverts, with the latter always using the same fonts.
Immediately, it is evident that all the examples use the same image used on the album artwork, and if not, the image keeps with the established theme. An important factor to also note is that all the examples use somewhat muted colours, with the KT Tunstall one being an obvious example of this, as the image used has been edited to give a faded black and white effect. This is because using overly bright, eye-catching colours will result in the opposite, undesired effect for the consumer, giving an unprofessional look and feel. In the examples, you can see that the Kings of Leon and Goldfrapp examples use the most bright and warm colours, but even these are a light kind of shade that isn't too hard on the eye, in order to establish an inviting and aesthetically pleasing design.
