The album name and artist are designed to fill the majority of the space on the page in order to visually attract attention. I have also included the scissors picture from the digipak which in the position it is, makes the advertisement look almost like a concert ticket and the 'cut line' representing the typical end piece found on a ticket which is ripped off. this is a post-modern feature - the advert being aware that it's a media text (i.e advertising a music product) therefore appealing to something associated with music (i.e a ticket)
I also included ratings and reviews from the Guardian and NME in order to boost the appeal of the album, and a release date. I consciously made these the same font to keep continuity with each other and with the advert. This is one of the main codes found within magazine advertisements.
Overall, the continuity of the advertisment's appearance coupled with the digipak is visually appealing and designed to help sell the album as part of a promotional campaign.
i will also take pictures of my magazine advertisement in an actual magazine for a glance at how it would look.
