Magazine Advert Construction

When turning up to a lesson early one day I saw that group member Alex had also been practicing a magazine advert. Although he maintained it was only a practice the rest of the group encouraged him that this was perhaps our best idea of a magazine advert. All that was left to do was to get some feedback from our classmates again, who were also our target audience.

The advert above kept within the continuity we chose through all three tasks which was to add a black, white and red colours to all tasks. This advert has clearly stuck to this in a very coordinated way with black being the background at the top of the page with a red coloured font. When the background was red the font colour was white which meant all three colours would stand out and still make the advert look neat. The only problem we had from our audience feedback was that they didn't like the font for the date, the digipak name at the top of the page and the name of the band underneath the digipak. However we were all pleased that our audience liked the advert as a whole and the changing the font was going to be time consuming.
To change the font problem we would have to think of the best solution to get the highest amount of marks possible. We then had an idea of using the same font used on previous Foo Fighters album would help the advert look more like real magazine adverts. Below is the font from two previous Foo Fighters album, the one on the left is from the album Foo Fighters and the one on the right has become the Foo Fighters emblem. By using the same font associated with Foo Fighters we decided to ditch the idea of having the album name of the poster as the digipak photo would be sufficient enough. All that was left to do was change the release date, and we changed it by putting an 'out now' title at the top of the page rather than on the bottom.
