A level media evidence for magazine advert

2. The Photo shoot
These are the images I took from my photo-shoot of the model and performer which is
featured in both my digipak and magazine advert in order to relate the two products and keep
consistency in my design.The image I have circled is the photograph I have used for the
magazine advert and front cover of the album.

3. I first cut out the model/performer from the
background featured in the photograph using the
‘magic wand’ tool so that I can place the model
onto an artificial background.
I then took a sample of the model’s costume which would
show consistency in the product in terms of colour as I
used this shade of red as the background colour.This will
also allow the model’s white t shirt, pale skin and black
trousers to stand out in the centre of the frame of the
album cover.

4. I then selected the ‘Halant font’ from the selection of
Photoshop fonts as this is very similar to that ofThe
Smiths’ actual logo, however because I have created it
myself this will not be an issue due to copyright
reasons.
For the album name ‘AxeThe Monarchy’ I added a
white text box surrounding the font, this served the
purpose of covering up the sharp edge at the
bottom of the image of the model.This is a theme I
kept consistent throughout all images of the
digipak.
I then used the same font for the artist’s name;
however I did not place a text box around the
font and made the colour white instead of black
so that the name of the artist stands out more
than the album name.

5. I then added the magazine reviews on the
background layer using the same font in
smaller print to keep the attention mainly
on the album and artist’s name.
Finally, I created a white rectangle and
decreased the opacity to create a faint and
almost transparent banner with the phrase
‘out now’ as an indication that the album is
released, along with the name of a hit single
featured on the album.
