Typical conventions a Magazine Advert -

Here is an example of a Chase & Status magazine advert, as you can see the magazine advert is an exact copy of the digipak and their album cover, the similarity will help people relate the band to the songs on their album and you can get the same technique of the eye catching yellow colour works. If our group was to take influence we would have to think about adding bright eye catching font or eye catching colours in general, also the use of using the same design for both the digipak and magazine advert may be something we could possibly do to attract peoples attention.
