Acoustic artists; magazine ads and digipaks


This image displayed above is for the well known band Oasis. It's a very simple design but has the bottom of an acoustic guitar (symbolic for this genre type). As we can see the main colours used are browns, whites and blacks, this shows that the acoustic isn't an 'out loud' and 'in your face' genre type. They are also calm colours, however the way that they have been used to make the acoustic guitar stand out has been effecting and eye catching, lighting on the guitar (for example studio lighting) would help this very well. An acoustic guitar is what we'd typically associate with this genre, therefore this digipak includes ideology.

This are the sort of things you would find in any music related magazine. Pages after pages of different band adverts showing when they will next be on tour (like the one situated above. They only usually take up a small space on the page however, some major bands take up a whole page (or are doing a reunion tour). Even though cage the elephant aren't exactly acoustic, this design above is very eye catching and is advertising the bands tour clearly. The colours used are plain however, the way in which they have used them is effective. The image below is demonstrating a magazine front cover 'frets' with an acoustic artist on the front. As we can see ideology is being role played again because he is holding an acoustic guitar, this shows the audience that the magazine will be about this type of genre. Also the way that there is only a picture of him doesn't make the page look over filled and confusing to look at.
Yet again, browns and whites are being used in this magazine ad (like the digipak). This fits in well with the genre type
