The picture on the left is highlighting American rapper DMX, this has DMX as the main feature. He is the only person in the cover with all the writing and text around him promoting him more than anything else. This is the only magazine advert I found which doesn't have a picture of the artist and is an album cover. This shows just how unique and powerful Jay-Z is and how he doesn't follow the rules. In my opinion I think it is important to have the artist as the main feature because in our video the artist is always rapping to the camera, or is the main feature in the shot.
Wretch 32 and Chris Brown have similar styles for their adverts, both with the text that shows the top songs and the release date. The colours that they are wearing stand out from the background, espeically the Chris Brown advertisement. The writing represents their own unique style of music, Chris Brown's style is different because it is not as fast as Wretch 32's. His writing is formal (similar to his clothing) while Wretch 32's text is more like graffiti with street clothing. We will probably go will something similar to Wretch 32 because he can link to Dizzee Rascal in an abstract way.
Kayne West is one of the most popular artists in the US and his adverts have to promote him successfully, while Zion I is not as known. The Kayne West advert (like Wretch 32 and Chris Brown) has the text around an image of him, this again is what we are aiming for. Zion I has two artists in the advert like we do, but their genre of music is more reggae and less hip hop/grime. Yet the advert is clearly layed out with people who star in the album and the release date in bold. We will incorporate a mixture of Zion I and Kayne West, because they both have strong features.
