2. Album advertisement first draft
I have created the first draft for one of my two ancillary tasks
which is the magazine advertisement for the album of my
music video. As I am still unsure about the song I am going to
choose for my music video therefore I have created just the
outline and template briefly of how my album advertisement
poster would look like and the colour scheme is still not chosen
as I will decide that aspect once I have inserted all of the
images and fonts so that they all tie in well together. When it
comes to creating an actual second draft of it, I will then
hopefully have chosen a song to use with some images which I
will be able to insert into the template. I created this template
using the software InDesign. This is the most appropriate
software to use for creating my album advertisement because
it includes tools which will help me with the precision of all the
aspects in the poster including the mastheads so that they are
all a line to make the poster appear more professional.
3. Fonts
I have used the fonts: Candara for the most important
aspects of the poster including the artist and album
names. I have also used the font Agency FB for the less
important elements of the poster that does not need to be
seen as much as the main mastheads. This includes the
website and the review.
Although these fonts are plain and simple, they are very
effective as they can be easily seen and recognised.
I have decided that these are not my final choices of fonts as
they are still part of the template draft but they are there
for the meanwhile until I find what song and images to use
so that I can fit the appropriate fonts onto the poster.

4. Tools
To create the stars for the reviews, I used the
rectangle tool. I was taught how to create it by
my teacher who explained that we had to use
the arrow keys to achieve the star look. I also
used the rectangle tool to create the template
for where my image will go. It is just a plain black
square but will be filled in with an appropriate
image. This tool was also appropriate to use for
the dots in between the different ways to access
the album. This was used to separate them out
and make it look more clean-cut and organised.
