The main feature to Linkin Park’s album advert is the use of the album cover being the main visual seen in the advert as it takes up half the advert. The helpful use for this is to show the audience what the album looks like and it also shows the track list of the album, which will encourage more people to buy the album from the songs they may know on the album already. This feature is similar to many other album adverts with no differences between the genres in the sense of selling the album from the look of the album itself. The writing used in the album advert shows the typical stereotype for the genre what Linkin Park are which is rap/nu-metal, which appeals to the target audience which is the fans of the band. This helps sell the album to the audience from the use of recognizing the fonts used for the band and that the fans will notice that and I want to look at the advert and eventually buying the album. The white font at the bottom left side of the advert shows what is included in the album which helps sell the media product to the audience as the special features in the album such as a short film about the band and exclusive web based media products that relate to the band. This helps appeal to the fans as people would love to see a live video of the band and will make you buy this product. The advert does not tell us the release date, which is a down side to the advert as people May not by it as they don’t know when it is out or where to buy it from. Overall the poster is appealing to the fans of the band and of nu-metal as the look and style of the advert attracts them, but only appeal to that certain audience which may gain a high selling media product.
