Magazine research for appropriate digipak advert

In this section i will be researching magazines based on the genre of my music video. The magazines i have looked at are urban based magazines and also pop magazines. The magazines I have selected to be the most appropriate are RWD (www.rwdmag.com), XXL (www.xxlmag.com) and Q (www.qthemusic.com)


Q magazine seems to cover the majority of music genre's vaguely but specialises in pop music.
Digipak adverts can be found in all 3 of these magazines, and my digipak would be of a suitable genre to be published in either of them. 

After more thorough research I discovered that there are several key things that are included on a advert for a digipak. Several things that are re-occurring are:

  • A retailer or a list of retailers that the digipak is sold in
  • The artists website
  • The record labels website
  • The Song title, or a list of singles found on the album
  • Album name
  • Copyright logo
  • Available to download on iTunes
  • Album cover artwork as background picture
 These are all things i am going to have to consider when designing my advert for my digipak.

Next you need to draft your own ad considering the conventions that you have noted and ensuring you use the appropriate language and features to target your market.
