Magazine Advert Analysis - Jessie J

Magazine articles that advertise pop artists use conventions such as a photo of the artist, bold text, bright colours etc. However, some magazine articles that advertise pop artists sometimes advertise tour dates, reviews about the artist, information on the artists album or even competitons.

This magazine article that i am analysing is advertising Jessie J, a very well know pop artist. This article was made when Jessie J was first in the music industry as it is only advertising her first album. Most of the article is of the medium close up of Jessie J. This is to show the audience who she is and shows a little bit of her appearance. There is a lot of bold colours used in this article. A lot of the colour black is used which tells us more about Jessie J as she isnt the typical pop artist that people would think of as she is very different in her own way. Her appearance also fits in with many of her songs as some of them are upbeat and some of them are quite slow.

The writing used in the magazine article stands out a lot especially the name of the artist. Jessie J is the biggest text to show the audience who she is as it stands out more. Also the colour of the writing stands out and is different as people wouldnt think to use gold in a magazine article. The other writing on the magazine article is advertising her debut album and it also mentions the very popular song 'Price Tag' as sometimes people know a song if it has been played on the radio a lot but may not know who the artist is who sings it. The article also advertises Jessie J's website so if people want more information they can log onto that website and find out more. 

At the bottom of the article there are two small logos, one at each side. These are typical conventions of a magazine article for a pop artist as they are record labels. It shows the company who Jessie J is signed by and who publishes and releases her music.
