Secondary Task: The Idea

For our magazine advert we decided that we wanted to follow many of the standard codes and conventions that are applicable to most album adverts. This was to have the name of the artist 'Eric Herman' in bold lettering at the top of the advert. The main image would be of a tiger, in the famous John Travolta pose from Satuday Night Fever.


This would bring in some intertextuality links, as this pose is instantly recognisable as a dancing pose, whilst the inclusion of the animal links the image back to the album. Underneath the poster there will be some relatively large text of the title of the album. Whilst underneath that there is additional infomation in smaller writing, saying things like release date and where you can buy the album from.
