Conventions of a magazine advert

There are a range of typical conventions that magazine advert should follow when promoting an artist, these include:

1. The release date of any upcoming albums

1. An image of the artist or band

1. The bands or artist's name/stage name

1. The record label supporting the artist

1. Symbols and logo's such as bar codes and scan codes

All of the magazines adverts I looked at included this, therefore I will need to include it on my own advert to ensure it looks authentic and professional.  



I will need to include symbols such as in order to create this realistic effect.
