Practice Magazine Advert

To make our magazine advert we would use the software called Photoshop in which to construct our magazine. I started to practice making a magazine advert on Photoshop and below shows how.

The picture above was taken to be used as the background and i feel it is a very effective background. The turned the picture black and white then changed the contrast and brightness before adding a tint of red. The black, white and red effect was used to help blend in the digipak when it is finished because across all three tasks we have added this effect.

The screenshot above shows the advert half completed with the title in position and the stores where you can purchase the album at the bottom. I have also put in a short review that you can see on many other magazine adverts. I have chosen to use Q magazine as the source of the quote as this is one of many magazines that have the audience we want to target.

This was the finished product from my practice at making an advert. I instantly feel that the digipak is what stands out most which was the idea as that is what we are advertising. I have also put in more reviews from NME and KERRANG! who, once again, both have the audience we wish to aim our product at. However after showing a few classmates we had one piece of feedback that was shared by everyone who saw it. Our audience felt that it looked more like a film advert rather than a music album advert. Although this was only a practice we now knew how to create a better advert than the one above.
