Magazine advert analysis

The magazine advert for green day clearly shows a lot of representation and detail. The magazine advert clearly uses a contrast of colours from red, black and white to show a variety of representational codes and conventions to convey their message.  So therefore, the colour red is used to represent green day’s revolution and independence, which clearly links to Muse’s ideology of containing freedom and anxiety for their own self-beliefs and values.  Red also clearly references the human blood therefore making it more connecting and serious towards their audience member. The white colors also symbolize innocence and being abstract towards their interest.  The representation of the hand and the heart shaped grenade symbolisms their escape from society and government. This therefore links towards green day’s independence and becoming their own character. The human hand with the heart also symbolizes biological aspects in order to connect and re establish their audience members’ relationship therefore making it more distributing. The uses of the arm also represents as an iconic and representation of Green day’s person. This therefore links to their human self-removing the heart of society. This therefore demonstrates their freedom and independence in a different alternative perspective view.  Also the magazine advert uses bold and a variety of textual sizes to enthuses their meaning for example the title “American idiot” represents their patriotic and strong ideas about their American government and society. Also the text of the band also enthuses their thoughts and values therefore showing their reputation for the audience members. This also links to David Morley’s theory of the meaning and representation of having constructed differences that are based on representational of social classes between upper and lower classes. This therefore links to muse’s digression and contrast of being the lower class against the upper class. This therefore shows that different bands have different meanings and values of being a higher social and political group.  The use of the abstract and cartoon clearly justifies the media text’s use for political social classes. Therefore this causes the audience to feel more decisive about the contrast of social classes. This can also link towards Morley’s theory of political representation and ideology.  Also the magazine advert clearly also uses horror conventions such as blood to create fear, shock factor and horror to influence the audience towards their digestion and meanings. Another aspect of the magazine advert of Green day also shapes the heart as a grenade, therefore, causing extent and reference towards army and war therefore symbolizes conflict and power. This makes green day act more for supremacy and domination over other groups that have similar purpose and go against each other. This also links towards the conflict of social classes and the ideology of Green day becoming more rebellious also iconic group of people towards against the political and stronger values. And also Green day also uses Levi Strauss’s theory of binary oppositions through a contrast of good and evil therefore between the lower and upper class also society and groups of individuals. This clearly links towards other products such as Muse’s dig pack and the script dig pack therefore showing that the groups of different bands are either controlling or going against the audience’s opinions. And finally the band magazine advert clearly uses a big iconic picture with text to show structure and form of being a representative of allowing their target audience to wards their self-values and ideas. This is due to the historical reference and conflict between the protagonist and antagonistic social classes therefore causing more development and variation of ideas and gratifications over the advantages of the imagery and iconography of the media product.

The Media product of the band Muse shows a lot of contrast and difference. The Muse magazine media product clearly uses the landscape and atmosphere of freedom and security. The use of the glass and ice clearly demonstrates Muse’s commitment and actions of being independent and free from society’s control over individuals and groups. This is also etherized by the title “Breaking through” which clearly represents Muse’s reception of being different from society’s structure and form. The use of the different shade of blues and white also symbolizes their curiosity and knowledge over the knowledge and opinions of life and evolution. The use of the bold, giant text also builds Muse’s reputation and strength over their own values and beliefs therefore making themselves more dominant and allows controlling supremacy. This can also link to other media products such as their music video entitled “Uprising” and their dig pack therefore making themselves more iconic and build their reputation in order to attract and build their audience members to influence themselves towards society. The use of the different contrast of colour and the iconography of the band Muse therefore makes it more supreme and stronger. The image also builds their freedom through the barriers and boundaries of society’s quarantine of those challenging their beliefs and values. The ice and glass cracks therefore represents the audience’s split personality and compassion therefore creating confusion which links to the audience members asking themselves ultimate questions of the identity of muse. The media product also shows interest of the theorist Levi Strauss showing binary oppositions of the contrast between social classes and good and evil. This also link towards the use of a spectrum of colours between blue, white, black and grey to show a different range of emotions and feelings in order to clearly create an atmosphere full of integrity and language. Also the media product also clearly uses strong colours tones in order to improve and create strong opinions for Muse’s message towards society and government. This also shows that Muse is adapting towards a more dependent psychological mind. The use of the information in the formation of columns clearly demonstrates structure and form therefore maintains their sanity and shows that Muse aren’t entirely different compared to regular individuals. The media product of the magazine advert of Muse also uses the tundra and transparent landscape to clearly represents a range of emotions full of memories and resemblance. Therefore, this acts like a vacuum of the audience’s innermost sanctum of thoughts of ideas. This also demonstrates their interests and represents Muse’s inquisitiveness of becoming leaders of political and academic series. The media product also resembles Muse’s conflict that from different perspective, it shows society isolating and degrading Muse’s identity and reputation. This therefore causes the shock factor and depression for the band Muse due to society becoming antagonistic against their judgmental and personal obligations. Therefore this links to Muse’s strength. The magazine text also uses the photo of the band members to build their reputation and iconic values in order to represent themselves as leaders and protagonist. Also the photography also makes the band members represent as ghosts therefore referencing spiritual and religious aspects, this can also link to audience’s inner interests and desires to become a different and formal person. This can also act, like their previous products, an catalyst that speeds their reputation and distribution across a more developed and economic distribution. So therefore this can allow their thoughts to link towards their political views. And finally the media product also shapes the entire product in the form of an letter which can demonstrates the initial and briefing for the audience members about forming and joining groups not affiliated with the government and society therefore spreading the influence, individual and inspirational aspects of humanity’s will of interest. 

The Killer’s media product shows a spectrum of emotions and feelings which links to the Muse media product. The Killer’s media product uses a variation of colours such as purple, yellow and black to represent strong inner emotions that build their personality and thoughts. This also influences the landscape to become more inspiring and show a lot about creation and evolution therefore linking to religious aspects. This builds the magazine advert’s self image and ideas in order to create creation and development over life and death. Also the use of the stadium clearly creates historical reference of the Roman coliseum therefore the stadium is linked to iconic and strong opinions over humanity’s will of becoming strong individuals that have different purposes. The stadium is also used to support substantial industry and architecture that clearly creates interest and explanations for the audience members. The use of the mosaic form also shows development of discovery and mystery therefore symbolizing an abstract world full of knowledge and ideas for the audience to consume and consider the individual factors about. The use of the desert landscape also makes the entire media product more isolated which builds the ideas of becoming rarer and discovered by the greatest minds of science and technology. This also makes the entire abstract world more conclusive and references different answers compared to simplistic and formal answers. The media product also uses pointillism text for their title to build the mosaic and developing landscape in order to represent their band members as individuals who improve the audience’s lifestyle and interests. The purple sky, with the use of mosaic form and constellation, represents mystery and confusion for the audience that the product fills the audience members full of discovery and knowledge. The constellation also references universal aspects, which makes this abstract world an individual planet therefore linking this new-formed world to reality. This clearly references Levi Strauss’s theory of binary oppositions that the media product and reality references a contrast of creation and evolution. The use of contrast also links to Green day’s use of contrast between society and individualism. That the killers show their own ideology through the use of historical aspects and directs the audience to the imagery of co-operating in an different landscape that isn’t tied to structure and form. This world is full of imagination, mystery, knowledge and beauty of creation and form therefore becoming a habitat to those who want to express their emotions and feelings in an imaginative and ideological form that allows themselves to show their solo integrity. The Killers magazine advert has also shown small white text for their names and information therefore showing that the Killer’s don’t need a gigantic and representing form that intrigues the audience. This shows the amount of representation, ideology; post modernistic, abstract and imagination that the Killers have applied show a hybrid of discovery and catalyst of applying the audience with gratifications. Therefore this links to the uses and gratifications model that the media product has used the ideal and imaginative landscape to attract their audience members to join their group in order to become free living and expressive individuals that aren’t tied to society’s path for supremacy and power. This therefore links to Muse’s media product for representing society as the antagonistic group that deliberately steals people’s possessions and individual thoughts. Whereas Muse is represented as the protagonist catalyzing group that encourages young minds of youth culture to prove themselves to stand for their own individual beliefs, ideas and above all integrity.
