Print research- Magazine advert

This magazine advert follows the rule of thirds well. Looking at the layout of the advert we see Lorde's face at the top of the page as this is the first thing our eyes view as we look further down the page at the primary optical area we see her name as that is the main focus, as we go down to the bottom of the page we see the terminal area empty as this is the last thing we notice on the page.
In the primary optical area there is a description of her within her name, from that description she is dressed as what it describes her as. She represents her genre of music really well. In this advert she is dressed maturely and at the side of her their is information saying who she landed a record deal at 16, therefore is aiming it at her target audience which is from 16 years of age upwards.

This magazine advert of Jessie J follows the rule of thirds too. Looking at the layout of the advert, the first thing we see is her face, moving down towards the primary optical area we see her name and the album track she is releasing, leading down to the terminal area we see some information of the album and then the record label which has produced the album which is less important than Jessie J herself. Within the image of her it represents what music she produces which is Pop. Within the magazine advert there are links to were you can purchase the album from and what main songs are on the album.  The style of the magazine advert describes how Jessie j is herself, she's wild and unique.




This example does not follow the theory

Looking at this magazine advert, because Eminem is that popular, his name is in the terminal area as the audience knows who he is just by looking at his face. The layout of this advert does not follow this theory the information is in the primary optical area as well as the terminal area a long with his name. Within the advert there are links to his album however all this is in the terminal area.
