Task 6 - Analysis of magazine adverts (Plan B)


The lettering is trim and tidy. It is left-aligned and is not superfluously stylish yet it is noticeable and, due to a lack of unnecessary pretentiousness, it is legible and strikingly resonant; the same can be said of the Manic Street Preachers advert below.
Plan B himself resides in the bottom right hand corner clutching an old fashioned microphone. His style of music, suave rap/pop, is unique and the positioning of the chosen image is an extension of this individuality. Donning a dapper suit and clutching an old fashioned microphone, the basic yet stylistic font mirrors this image. However, Plan B is surrounded by black, darkness reflecting his music which has melancholic undertones. His lyrics are ominous or explicit, there is something sinister, hidden, about him. As Plan B is looking to his left, half of his face is not exposed; this again suggests that there are deeper, darker facets to his music and these elements link to his smooth style.


I want to try and replicate the effect this advert has giving a star image to the lead singer promoting their image to the audience.
