The document describes the process taken to create two magazine advertisement posters. For both posters, the creator started with an image of Jess posing and made adjustments to improve colors and contrast. They then added text and design elements like borders, boxes and social media icons using a black, white and red color scheme. The final posters featured the artist's name, album title and other details to promote the album and provide links to learn more.

3. This is the original image that I am using for my poster. I chose this picture because I like how Jess is looking directly at
the camera and I like how she is posing.

4. Firstly, to start off my magazine advert, I changed the levels of the image. This made the image
look better instantly making the background whiter, her dress more bold and black and her lips
more red.

5. Secondly I turned the image black and white by using the adjustment tool because I want the poster to match with the
overall colour scheme of the ancillary texts. Then, to add colour to the image, I erased the part of the image where Jess’
lips are which, because I erased on the black and white layer, allowed the red beneath the layer to be on show.

6. Next I added a dark red rectangle shape to the image, placing it in the centre of the image. I added
this so that I could place text on the image and it be noticeable. Also the red on the box matches the
red on Jess’ lips.

7. Then I removed two sections, one from each side, of the image so that I could add a black background
to the image. I think adding the black sides makes the image look more appealing.

8. After that, I started to add text to the advert which included the artists name, album title and other
text. I got this font from a website called dafont.com and I chose the basic font title. I used this font
because I like how it looks clean cut and classy. I used the colours white and grey for this text for two
reasons, it matches the background and it stands out well against the red.

9. Next I added social media icons which represent Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. These are
used because these are social media platforms where the audience can find the artist and find out
more about them.

10. Then I added the ‘Album of the year’ from the Guardian.

11. The next thing I did was add the website in the bottom right corner.

15. Secondly I turned the image black and white by using the adjustment tool because I want the poster to match with the
overall colour scheme of the ancillary texts. Then, to add colour to the image, I erased the part of the image where Jess’
lips are which, because I erased on the black and white layer, allowed the red beneath the layer to be on show.

16. Next I added a black box on the bottom half of the image, a black border where the main image is and a
white border where the black box is.

17. Then I added the text which included the artist name, album title and other text.
I stayed with the theme of white red and black to follow conventions.

18. Then I added the social media icons and the website link, also following
the colour scheme.

19. Finally I added a white box behind the text ‘Jess Kelly’ so that it was
easier to read.
