2nd Draft of Magazine Advert

This is the 2nd draft if my magazine advert. After studying my previous draft against this one, I believe that this one a has a much more professional look. Firstly, I have included additional information to fill in some gaps. For example, there is an additional review, information about the tracks and where the CD is avaliable from.
I did some research whilst creating this draft and found that the record label the artist was signed to whilst making the album 'the family jewels' was 679 Records, not Neon Gold Records. i chose to change it as it was 679 that produced the album with the song I have used for my music video. Also, as I mentioned in the evaluation of my previous draft that the Neon Gold logo didn't really suit the colour scheme of my advert, however I think that this logo from 679 records is a lot more fitting.
I think that it was a good idea to include some more reviews; just so the audience know a little bit more about what they are buying and what to expect from the album. Using iconic and famous newspapers to review the album is a good way of proving that the album is successful and I think that using large organisations rather than small is easier for people to recognise and therefore trust.
I have also included the fact the album is avaliable on CD, download and Vinyl. I have chosen these 3 because; firstly, the CD can be used in the home, in the car and a typical and easy way to listen to music. Next, I chose download as it is becoming an increasingly more popular way to access music. There are many sites avaliable to download from and when I asked a few class mates if they would prefer a CD or download, they said download. One person mentioned they prefered download because its much easier to put it onto a MP3 or iPod, compared to a CD. Finally, I decided to include vinyl because vintage records are becoming quite popular and I also thought it connoted things such as America and its former years and links to that classic and oldfashioned feel I wanted to create in my photos for this video.
I decided to highlight some of the more popular tracks on the album. I did this because people could like the songs on the front cover as they are the most recognisable and this could lead them to buy the album hoping the rest of the tracks are as good or better.
