This advertisement for the Kings of Leon album has the effect of displaying the key information of the album and its content to the reader: the album
title; the band; key tracks and the date of release. The advert has achieved this in a very simple manner by simply displaying the album title and listing the popular singles released prior to
the album's release.
The advert does not overload the reader with too much information as they will not lose interest in the advert. Displaying needless
information about the album such as all the tracks, the track times etc.
will just put people off from viewing the advert as no one really cares
about the track times or track names when no one knows the songs as
they have not yet been released.
The picture that the advert has gone with is unique in that it is an amalgam of different faces, including human and bird. This is striking as and makes the album cover distinctive. This will then get peoples attention
as the picture itself is strange and people will associate it with Kings
of Leon and this album in paticular. The picture has been made much
larger than the text and this has been done as the most recognislbe thing
would be an image to associate the album with, instead of tracks or the
title. Therefore this will get the viewer's attention.
The text that has been used is clear and the size of the font is right so
the advert does not get dominated by inappropriately large text. The text does not overshadow the album cover picture
