the Killers magazine advert analysis

This magazine advert is a good idea of a advert for a conventional rock band the disco balls spelling the Killers in big bold font does not only show us this band is glamorous but it is also very eye catching. Considering our genre is indie-rock we though it would be important to consider this advert. The colour purplerepresented in the sky has connotationsof royalty, this correlates with the pictureof the ‘Royal Albert Hall’ and makes it very clear to the audience what message the Killers are trying to put across (high status and royalty). They also manage to create a good contrast using cacti and palm trees possibly to represent their hometown of the USA. This contrasts with the rather grand building in the background. When thinking about this it helped us to think about creating a contrast in out advert possibly of urban and nature.
