Albums and adverts.

There are many different ways in which you could advertise an album. However the type of adverts which I will look at is mainly print media, which could often include:

• magazines 
• posters
• newspapers
• bilboards

Print media was the first type of advertising which was introduced, and the first advert came in the 19th century when music was advertised in short broadsheets which before the intro of adverts which had one income from subscriptions to the paper.(would often be small ads). The print media further developed in 1870s, when the introduction of the 'printing industry' perfected colour and made mass production possible.

 Artists will often put advertisements in music related magazines, as those who read it and see it are more likely to check the album out, perhaps buying it if they like it.
