One of the key conventions which is usually found on a magazine advert is the album cover, however this was something which I have found to be challenged throughout those which I have studied in close detail. On the Mumford and Sons advert there was not any inclusion of the album cover just the use of the artists themselves in order to allow an audience to make a connection to them. Also on the Arcade Fire and The Vaccines advert despite The Vaccines one having the album cover faded as the background of the advert they both had a smaller version of the album cover situated somewhere on the advert.
This challenge of the typical convention is something which will work brilliantly for my magazine advert as I have decided to create a narrative enigma around the models on my digipak. I will be able to include this theme into the magazine advert by having the main image construct the identity the model. In addition to this as shown by my research in to adverts within my genre, the album cover isn't always used as the focal point on the advert but is still included in small elsewhere on it, I am going to use this convention within my magazine advert.

My advert will be taken in black and white that way the writing of the album title, artist and release date will stand out as it will either be written on a white board or chalk board.
Also the model will be in all black as again this will ensure that the board and the information is the focal point of the advertisement.
Lastly the photo is going to be taken in a high street that way it looks like the image is part of a real advertisement campaign, making it more realistic for the audience.
