The document summarizes the process of creating a first draft magazine advertisement for a new album. Photoshop was used to cut and paste words from light painting into a background and adjust opacity and feathering to blend elements together. Additional details like the album name, label, QR code, date, and website were added. While the first draft was completed, further improvements were planned to make a more attractive advert.

1. All the things obeyed the advert plan I had done before, and the
first draft magazine advert had been created. This PPT was used
to present the process of constructing the first album advert.

3. I have mentioned before I would use
Photoshop in editing both of magazine
advert and digipak. These are screen
shoots of evidence of constructing the
magazine advert.
I just cut those words(pattern made by
light painting) which I needed, and
then paste them in the chosen
background. In order to make it look
smoother and more syncretic, I moved
the “opacity” button. Furthermore,
when an imaged is blended, the
feather operation of selected boundary
develops a zone to cover the
boundary. The last but not least, the
advert had to be designed into
rectangle, so that I cut the selected
area and the preliminary magazine
advert was ready.

4. The name of album is in the middle of the advert written in
light painting as well as “OUT NOW” below it. In addition, I
have added record label, QR code, release date and artist
official website on the advert.
This is the first draft magazine advert, I will keep improving it
in order to get a better attractive magazine advert of a new
brand album.
