Magazine Advert Initial Designs

Here are the first initial ideas for our magazine advert. This was to develop an understanding of how to use photoshop, and also what fonts and extra features should be used and included. We found that it would be a good idea to add features such as the itunes logo to show the audience where you can buy the product from and use a consistant edgy font which gives an urban feel to the advert and relates to our artist as well, which again directly appeals to our target audience.

Another initial idea for the magazine advert was to include an image from the music video that would be an iconic signifier to the audience and immediately engage them to an urban setting. The use of blur and titles is a good feature because it gives a modern up to date view on the magazine advert something that our audience will look for. Having our artists web page on show is also a good feature because our audience can visit it and find out information about tour dates, merchandise and other albums, and so is a good marketing technique for the magazine advert.
