Final Magazine Advert

Below is my final Magazine advert. I have used all of the critisims in the previous developments to help create this final product. I have used new images to make it stronger in terms of generic conventions. The colours that I have used contrast with each other, meaning that each  feature stands out and does not merge together.

Magazine advert - Development draft 6

Below is my sixth development draft of my magazine advert. I have now added that it is 'From the album Science and Faith.' At this point I was going to change the album cover to the singles cover, so that the phrase above it made sense. However after this point I took my new shots and changed the text to 'Includes the single For the First Time.' The images also changed to stronger images, following the conventions of a band photo more and the overall images were stronger, in terms of compostion, lighting etc.

 

 

After this point I took the new shots, and used all the improvements I had learnt from these developments to make my final magazine advert.

Magazine advert - Development draft 5

Below is my fifth development draft of my magazine advert. I have now changed the composition of the album cover and changed the colours to make the different features easier to see, I have also darkened the key image to suit the genre more. In order to improve my work further I have asked my peers to evaluate my work.

Below is the feedback I was given:

· The year that the tour is should be included next to 'UK Tour,' this would then make it stronger in terms of following a magazine adverts conventions. 

· I think that you should state that the song you are doing for the project is from the album 'Science and Faith.'

Magazine advert - Development draft 4

Below is my forth development draft of my magazine advert. I have changed the image back to its orginal image. In order to improve my work further I have asked my peers to critise my work.

Below is the feedback I was given:

·         The album is quite difficult to see behind the logo at the top. I feel that it is being hidden from the audience’s eye.

·         I feel that the album is also quite difficult to see, I think the other reason for this is, the colours blend into each other to much, a black album on a black background.

·         I think that the key image is too bright for the genre you are trying to target.

Magazine advert - Development draft 3

Below is my third development draft of my magazine advert. I have changed the image and included the image of the CD Cover. In order to improve my work further I have asked my peers to critise my work.

 

After reviewing the work myself, I decided that this new image was not working. The images did not fit together as well as the previous image. I also felt the other image made the magazine advert stronger in terms of its generic conventions.

 

Magazine advert - Development draft 2

Below is my second development draft of my magazine advert. I have now added who the special guest is going to be and added the social network logos. In order to improve my work further I have asked my peers to critise my work.

 

Below is the feedback I was given:

· The key image looks like you have just stuck image on top of image, I think that you should experiment with another image, see if it looks any better.

· You need to include the image of the album. The magazine advert is meant to be advertising the new album as well. By including this image the magazine will be stronger in terms of it relating to the conventions.

Magazine advert - Development draft 1

Below are my first development draft of my magazine advert. In order to improve my work I have asked my peers to critise my work.



Below is the feedback I was given:

· I need to say who the 'Special Guest' is going to be, this will make the generic conventions stronger and make it more appealing to the audience.

· Need to include the 'Facebook' and 'Twitter' logo in order to make it a more realistic magazine advert.

· The colours work very well, I like how the black and white contrast with each other and make every stand out more.

· There is a small white line in the key image, this makes the whole product look unprofessional and unattractive.
