Magazine Advert Process

Idea One

Reasons why I did not think it was effective:

 

- The text size of the album and the artist's name were not big enough to capture the audience's attention

 

- Even though the image of the artist was the only subject in colours, I felt it was still not clear enough that the photograph was of Alan-J.

 

​- The black and white filter were supposed to give a taste of vintage and therefore create a relation with Alternative Rock genre but it was not obvious.

 

​- It did not look like a Magazine Advert

 

Final Idea

I decided to make the name of the album and the artist bigger adding a line underneath the artist's name so it would stand out more. I decided that this layout would capture better the attention of the audience for all the details from the artist's name.

I added my artist's logo in transparent, over some of the letters and his image because it is his mark, what everyone's knows him for and recognise which is a very necessary detail.

As soon as I finished this advert I knew this was going to be the final one as I was very happy about it and all the alternative rock genre references were still very clear.

 

Conclusion

I am very happy with the turn out of my magazine advert as I believe that I have covered all the necessary details to make it look as real as possible.
