Magazine advert analysis 3

This is a magazine advert used to represent the release of "The Stone Roses" debut album.

The background of the cover is an example of abstract expressionism by John Squire, who is the guitarist in the band. The painting has been produced with influence of the work by Jackson Pollock who is a modern artist established within the 1950s.


The group name "The Stone Roses"has been presented in gold, with the use of lemons to interpret the letter O within ROSES. This use of the lemons represent the stone roses themselves and their original style. On the left hand side of the advert their are three colours presented. Red, white and blue. This is there to represent the band as British by reflecting the colours of the flag. Within the top section of the advert there are a presentation of four badges. each badge includes a different reviews from a number of magazines. Giving details into their ratings and comments on the album itself.

The advert is a copy of the CD cover itself that had been extended to include information into release dates, websites and additional information. Each an important feature when releasing an album.
