Ancillary Tasks - Analysing Magazine Adverts: Jessie J


An A4 sized advert that covers the whole page. Everything is  centered, even the artist. It's main focus is the artist Jessie J, situated in the top centre of the page. It is a straight on close up of the artist, allowing the viewers to recognise her. Jessie J's pose and appearance in this poster suggests that she is feisty, rebellious and doesn't care (attitude). 

The colour scheme is very basic and nearly monochrome; White background, black and grey clothes and very whitened skin. Golden writing is used on the magazine advert, contrasting against the black and white. It has a metallic shine suggesting a rather 'chavy' style. Also to support this, the 'Jessie J' title is on her neck, reminding me of a large piece of jewelry.  
The Jessie J website is included on the advert to help promote interaction with the audience - view news on the artist and buy merchandise. Sponsors and labels are included in the bottom corners in white, as they want the logos to by noticed but not the focus.

The design of the advert is from the album cover it's self. This could be to help the audience recognise the album cover if they wish to purchase it.



Her website also has a theme of black and white. However it suggest purity than her being rebellious (the website is newer than the magazine advert I've just looked at - new album).


It has a soft and delicate atmosphere: The artist isn't wearing black like in the cd cover design and when you scroll down the page she fades and disappears.
