Magazine Advert Analysis 3 - Sandhya Gulsin

My third magazine analysis is of a personal favourite Poster promoting and album called Given to the wind by The Maccabees. This poster has a very simplistic approach for advertising. The bandname is presented in a very abstract format splitting "Maccabees" up in to the mould of a square. "The" is in very small print withing the M of the "Maccabees." Unlike the other Advert Analysis's this one has no image of the band but the image is of a graze field set alight. There is also a structure placed in the centre which almost represents a be-hive. It also visually links to the work by Andy Goldsworthy exploring structures created from the natural surroundings. Below the structure is the Album name and the release date. This is then followed by an Album review from NME. the NME crtique review complitely dominates the bottom of the page as there is nothing to follow after.
