To further my research in ancillary products, here are three adverts related to my genre:
CHASE & STATUS
LAYOUT&CONTENT: The layout for this is quite 'in your face' as it isn't completely straight and it is rather bold and bright. The title is right at the top, drawing the audiences attention to the artists. It is quite jam packed with information - as it includes information about the tour dates which is also quite big. All the extra information is in the small print inside the flyer, which the consumer should read as the eye catching font should have made them look at it in the first place!
COLOUR&IMAGES: The main colours for this article are pink, blue, white and black which are quite bright and contrasting colours, which helps capture the audiences attention. There are no images, only text boxes and fonts.
FONT: They used a big blocky font, which kind of reminds me of the type of fonts they would use in a military film, it is strong yet has some patches missing to give it a real edge - which is common in dubstep genres.
CHASE AND STATUS 2

CHASE AND STATUS 2
LAYOUT&CONTENT: This layout is very different to the poster I analysed before - the text is a contrasting colour to the black and white poster making it standout and grab the readers attention. It is also in the centre of the advert, in front of the photo. It has the basic content of an advert, stating the tour dates and esstential information such as the websites and download links etc, which is typical of any genre advert - to inform.
COLOUR&IMAGES: There is only really 3 colours; yellow and white for the text and the background which is a black and white portrait of a pug. This picture is quite random and weird which is common for a dubstep genre, as the images used to represent the genre are usually random and don't make sense, almost like a disjuncture of sorts.
FONT: The font for this advert seems to be Arial, it is quite an informal text. It is all in capitals to show the importance of what is being written.
MAGNETIC MAN
LAYOUT&CONTENT: This is an advert for Magnetic Man's debut album, which is different to the other advertisements as they were advertising tours. So instead of having tour dates on the advert they have reviews of the album from various music magazines etc, which helps marketing as it promotes the artist as having good music and merchandise. The way it's laid out with the silhouette of the artists in the middle gives them a mysterious, private vibe which is what many dubstep artists do - they hide themselves and let their music do the talking, An example of one that does this is Skrillex, he is rarely seen in his videos and advertising.
COLOUR&IMAGES: The main theme for this is black and white, with the text being white to stand out against the dark background. the only image here is a silhouette of magnetic man who appear to be a band instead of one person, which adds to their image.
FONT: The font seems to be a font the artists have made up, but it does look quite futurtistic and modern which is common for a dubstep genre.
Until then!
