Magazine advert analysis

Starting with the band name, we denote that there is a simplistic feel to it. This becomes reinforced, through the simple writing in white. Further interpretations lead us to think that nothing special or out of the ordinary should be expected from the band. Furthermore, the name of the band in itself is a subversion to music as whole. When we think of music, we connote loud pleasant noise in most cases. Here the theme seems to be different as they aim to make us feel that their music is simple but effective. This is highlighted through the word 'hush' as it draws connotations of quietness and relaxation. In addition, the significance of the colour white is to show the purity and innocence of the band. This usually is something that wouldn't be associated with a band as they normally partake in rebellious behaviour as part of their image.

The main advertisement being portrayed is of 'warner music'. The band is being used to put forward what seems to look like the music production company. This could be a really effective tool, as if individuals like 'The Hush Sound' for example, they could be interested in the warner music company. The collaboration could create a fan base and increase the amount of people who are interested in warner music.

The action line with this music magazine is straight forward and goes directly to the point. The aim is to show the interested audience any upcoming dates that are of any significance to them. In this particular case, the 10th of December is the date of significance as it shows that will be date of a performance. This alerts the audience and straight away they let others know who may be interested in coming along.
The main image of the product, is to establish the faces of the band members and this is done with good effect. Firstly, what seems to be the protagonist artist is holding the other two band members this could be done to show dominance within the group. Establishing himself as a superior to the others. The image of the band members could be used as a pack-shot as it demonstrates this is their product and they become a more recognisable figure. Although it would normally be set in the lower right corner, we see it differently this time, as it is directly on the page.
In conclusion, there doesn't seem to be any reviews this could highlight the fact that the band isn't a very well known one. Reviews would normally take place based on the popularity of an up and coming band. Unfortunately the hush sound weren't reviewed and the main reason for this could be because people don't see the need for reviewing them. Newspapers may see it as a waste of time and money.
