Codes and Conventions (Magazine Digipak)

The codes and conventions of a magazine advert are almost similar to the codes and conventions of album covers. The adverts are almost identical to the album covers only with a few composition changes. The magazines article still contain the Artist Name, Album Name, Logo and the Main image of the Album. If an album cover that breaks these codes and conventions, like Arctic Monkeys AM is features on the magazine the publisher will add the artists/bands name so that the readers are not confused as to what the page is about.
Some extras that are added to magazine covers to help promotion are

• Album Release Date - So the artists fan base knows when the the album is released.
• The Artists/Bands Website - so there fan base and new fans can learn more about them and pre-order the album.
• The logo of the recording company - so people are aware what style of music the album is.
• The album Cover of the featured album 
• There is normally a list of 2-3 songs that will be on the album, these songs are usually already released as singles for example on an advert for "Ed Sheeran's X (Multiply)" there is text that says "Including the Singles "Sing" and "Don't"
