First initial construction of mag advert

1. INITIAL MAGAZINE
ADVERT CONSTRUCTION

2. Above is the chosen image for my
magazine advert. I produced this from a
previous shoot whilst filming. The
lighting works well with the high contrast
as it means it is black above & around
Siobhan, meaning I can extend the
image to make it A3 without distorting or
editing the image significantly.
To the right you can see the edited
version of the image as I have added a
black block onto it on photoshop.

3. From the previous image, I wanted to
add an overlay to tie together an
ongoing theme throughout my music
video and digipak. I chose a
kaleidoscope effect that I created for my
music video. I used the online editor ‘Pic
Monkey’ to add the overlay, and then
used an eraser tool to remove the effect
from covering Siobhan, as I wanted her
to be the main focus point of the page.

4. Here is my flat plan for my magazine
advert. I have placed things central as
this is how the viewer will process the
page. Above is Flume’s official logo as
well as the font I created and plan on
using.

5. This is a first edit of my
magazine advert. I have kept
Siobhan with the overlay
background, but I used a ‘add’
effect which altered the colour of
her. This makes her stand out
well against the red, but I don’t
think this will tie in well with the
rest of my products, as I haven’t
used green on anything else. I
have also placed Flume’s official
logo onto the page. I edited this
so it wasn’t a block black colour,
as it looked odd and out of
place. So instead I added a
‘Lighten’ Effect to it, on ‘Pic
Monkey’, the online editing
software, and graded it slightly
purple. I am happy with the
outcome of the title.

6. This is my 2nd edit of my
magazine advert. As you can
see I have edited Siobhan back
to the original image and
colours as I think it works well,
and helps tie together her
against the kaleidoscope
background. I have also edited
the main title ‘FLUME’, as before
I felt it was a little too pale, and I
want to make sure it stands out
well against the background. So
I applied a different effect,
‘Multiply’ & this increased the
contrast and also encouraged
the background to appear
behind it. I am happy with the
effect of this.

7. This is my 3rd edit of my
magazine advert. I have kept
the previous image, but then
experimented by adding text to
this image. I am yet to play
around with the placement and
size of the text, but overall I am
not entirely happy with the result
of using the text I designed as I
think it appears childish and
doesn’t work well with Flume’s
official logo. I will take this edit
into a hot design session and
gain feedback on the image as
a whole.
