Making my mag ad
1. I set the paper size to A4, as this is the standard size
for magazine adverts.
2. Using the flowers from the ancillary text, I used the duplicate layer
tool to make a new design.
3. I saved the new design as a JPEG
and then made it the background
of the Poplar Std text in
Powerpoint. I then saved the text
as a PNG to ensure it was
transparent and uploaded it to
the photoshop document.
4. I added a stroke to the Lukatar text to
make it bolder. Then I imported images
from my Digi Pack (For continuity) to
the page. I resized them and placed
them appropriately. I added a blur
background as I believe this is a bright,
happy colour.
5. I changed the background colour to pink as I believed this would better attract a
female audience. I added stripes of the flower pattern, I believe this looks sporty to
complement the sports wear seen in the image at the bottom of the advert and
throughout my other two porducts.
6. I made a graffiti with flower
background text as I believe this is
more urban. To do this I used the
polygonal lasso tool and the ‘select,
inverse, delete method.
7. I inserted two ‘Lukatar’ graffiti texts to
make an urban feel and made the bottom
of the page green for variety and to
contrast the pink outline of the cartoon
image for an edgy, attention grabbing
look.
8. I added ‘Baby B’ in yellow font to be attention grabbing. To further make it stand
out I used a black stroke (this is also characteristic of the cartoon images) poplar
Std was used for continuity.
9. I changed the ‘Lukatar’ text back to
poplar Std as people said it was hard to
read. I then added all the vital text. To
make it edgy and attention grabbing I
used a variety of bright colours, thick
black strokes (Outlines) and the
rotation tool to add tilts.
I used authentic logos
for Arista, spotify and
iTunes to make the
product authentic.
10.
11. I considered using a yellow stroke but chose against it because I believe it
is easier to read, but chose against it as I didn’t believe it was aestetically
pleasing.
12. I added a black fade around ‘Lukatar’ to
make it stand out further. Using a soft
paintbrush tool. I also added social
media info.
13. I added a rating / review to entice readers
and also changed ‘Lukatar’ to a purple
colour and graffiti font as I believe it is
better than green to attract a femal
audience and also the graffiti is urban. The
graffiti is seen on my other ancillary so adds
continuity.
This is my final magazine advert.
