Magazine Advert research

When researching different magazine adverts for albums I found this one for the band You Me At Six. This one differs from the majority of adverts as this does not have an image of the artist as the main focus, it is has an abstract colourful image. This breaks the typical codes and conventions and could make the advert stand out more. It is also leaves the image and style of the artist out as you recognise the band by name and suggests that they only want to focus on their music rather than the image. Advertising like this is popular with indie bands which relate to being individual and different, care less about main streams codes and conventions and just focus on their music. This is a good example of how genres can differ from one another.
