Genre Research 5: Magazine adverts

            Advert for Wretch 32’s album Wretchrospective. Tells the date and who will be guest staring to make people excited about the upcoming release. The poster uses dark colours to show that this is a Grime artist who is shady and cool. Poster is a blown up version of the disk cover, but also shows the cover separately to draw attention to what it looks like so people remember. Lots of graffiti techniques have been used on the poster, like the paint drips under the main title and the effect on the hands. This is because graffiti and Hip Hop are very close.The bling and the indie style wristband give the impresion of style and wealth, while the plain white tee and grey jeans give a casual feel to the artist. At the side of the poster are different places that are selling the album, such as HMV and Itunes. This makes the reader aware of how to get the album, and also will advertise these places as well.







            Shows the album big in the middle of the screen to make sure the reader sees it and remembers it.The two artists are shown on either side to show that they had a joint effot in creating this album. The pair are wearing snazzy clothes and the one on the right is wearing a neclace and headphones. These show that they are sucsessful and able to afford these things. The type face is based on graffiti style writing, with stencils at the top and free writing at the sides. the piece is in black and white apart from the date of release. This draws our attention towards it.
