Ancillary Task - Magazine Advert

What is a magazine advert?
In order to promote our band, song and album, we need to advertise it as many places as possible. A good place to advertise it is in appropriate magazines, tv channels, websites, etc. For our magazine advert we have to ddesign it and also decide which publication it would go in.

We decided as our song fits under the genre of 'Indie' it would be most appropriate in a magazine like NME or maybe even Q. The reason for primarily choosing NME is that we will be ablke to reach our targe audioenmce for the song in that magazine. It's important we do that, as if we advertised our song in, for example, 'Metal Hammer', our avertisement campaign would probably not be that successful, as the readership of that magazine, would probably not listen to 'indie' music.

I will analyse other similar adverts to help gain inspiration and idea's for our advert, to make them as effective as possible.
