Magazine Adverts for Music Albums (draft)



My magazine advert initially was going to be based on the above album cover, Only By The Night, by the Kings of Leon. I like this particular advert because the layout is simple, but the image is a montage of two photos, an owl and the singer.
I thought a collage like this, of my dancers and my hand-drawn frames, would both follow the conventions of my video, and engage the attention of the viewers, which would increase the chances of my album being bought.
However, once I changed my mind about having half of my video be the original footage, and half be my drawings, it stopped making sense to have a collage of the two images on my magazine advertisement.

This advert is for the single Love Is Noise by The Verve, and I like it because it is not conventional, in the sense that the image does not include the artist/band, or any instruments, or anything to do with music, for that matter.
My video is a hand-drawn animation, but the background will be a fast-forward shot of the sky and clouds, so an ancillary text like this one would be consistent with the rest of my work.
I also think that something that doesn't necessarily have to do with animation or drawings would be a refreshing change...
