This advertisement poster is a very good example which shows conventions of music advertisement.
This poster as you can see is of Eminem's latest album 'Recovery'. It shows various examples of conventions of music advertisement. For example, it shows his logo at the top which is his name with the second E backwards and the name of the album underneath. There is also a clear image that represents the album. A long empty road which Eminem himself is walking down, which could symbolise his long road to recovery. Another convention is that the album poster clearly shows the release date so consumers would be able to purchase it. The poster also shows record labels and his website. The poster gives names of some of the tracks on the album which include collaborations with artists such as Pink, Rhianna, and Lil' Wayne The colour scheme chosen for this also fits in well with the name of the album 'Recovery'. Dull and dark colours have been chosen such as grey and black. The image of a white cross inside the red circle is very well chosen as it represents hospitals and with the album name being Recovery, people would associate this with getting better. Here is Eminem on BBC's Radio One with Fearne Cotten. On this interview Eminem discusses his new album Recovery. This is another form of how music is advertised.
