Album advert analysis - Imran Khan


For this analysis we have looked at the magazine advert for Imran Khans album 'Unforgettable'. There are multiple images of the same shot, Imran khan. However they are all different angles separated by black bold vertical lines. This is eye catching to a viewer as it is quite interesting because all the pictures are initially the same but each one is dynamically different. For example, the width of the pictures is not the same, some are wide and others are slim. In addition, the advert has Imran khans face is at different levels in each of the pictures which also gives the advert more depth.
Another feature of the advert is his clothing and colors used. He is wearing a bright blue hoody with a white and red zip, these colors stand out even more as there is a black background which bring out the bright colors and his face. This illuminates his image further as he is the only image you can see and he stands out. Furthermore, he is waring very dark glasses that entirely cover up his eyes give and give a sense of mystery.
Another key feature to this magazine advert is the fonts, words and sizes used. His name is in the large size, bold and white. All there elements make his name stand out and be the most eye popping words on the advert. Right below his name there is the album name, 'Unforgettable'. This is in a similar size, however the letters are not bold, but as the color of the letters are in white it also stands out in contrast to the black background. The rest of the texts have the same color but the album release date is in a bigger size than Imran khans website.
We hope to use similar conventions in our album cover.
