Inspiration for a music album advertisment #1

This is an advertisment for "Foo Fighters" latest album "Wasting Light". The advert features one main concept which is the album art for the new album. This image covers the entirity of the page and is the main focal point of the advertisment. There are then the band's and album's details on top of the image in a bold, white font, contrasting to the images black background, enforcing the text further. The main text, in order of size, goes from the band's name, to the album's title, to the album's release date, to what singles are including on the album. Then in a less bold and smaller font, as well as a bleaker font colour and at the base of the advert, the producer and mixer are credited. And again in a smaller font, links to the website and social network pages on the band are stated. Then in each of the bottom corners there is an advertisment of a company that sells music, and in the other corner the record label of the band is credited.

I think this advertisment is a good layout and the designer has made good work of colour coding and sizing the objects. And I definatly agree to using the album's artwork as the main feature or at least an image that is very similar to the artwork.
