Production of Magazine Advert

From research of magazine adverts targeted to our audience we knew our magazine should be 1) High Key
2) Not to sophisticated
3) Look appealing meaning that we were most likely to use a high key lighting shot because we were aiming to take a beauty shot
4) Feature our running motif of the colour pink

To make our magazine advert this took place also on Photoshop. The same rules that applied to making a digipak was the same as making a magazine advert such as naming the layers, pressing the shift key always when resizing an image, and also by moving the layers this would affect what would be seen on the image. For example if a layer of the 'tambourine' was underneath the 'background' layer than the tambourine would not be seen.

This is the picture we chose to be the magazine advert

Here I thought we should put the tambourine in the magazine advert because it is the same tambourine our artist uses in the video


In this picture I changed the saturation and brightness and decided on the font style

This was the final magazine advert however receiving feedback from teachers and students that the image looks to "washed out" we decided to change the brightness and saturation of the image. When we showed it to class members for feedback a student mentioned we should change the logo to another logo we had previously produced. Our teacher also mentioned we should add an indication of where we could purchase the album therefore I added the HMV logo. Here is the finished piece
