Screenshots of my magazine photoshop

2. I started by choosing an image that I thought represented the
artist in a positive way; that also linked to her genre.Our
artistAva K makes loves songs and is very calm. I moved the
model to the right hand bottom side of the image and then
used the colour picker tool to colour in the background to
make it all the same colour. I chose this colour because it is
the same colour as the background of the front cover from
the digipak. I also liked the colour because it was light;
meaning that the font would stand out against it. I then
added my artists logo and the name of her album. I used the
same fonts as I did on my digipak so that the two linked
together. I chose the fonts because they’re very soft and
create a calming mood, which is what I wanted to portray
from my advertisement.

3. I then added the release date to the left hand side in the
negative space around the artist portrait. I used bold font
so that it stood out because the audience will easily be able
to see when the album is available to buy. I also added my
production companies logo on the bottom right hand side
because it’s not as important however has to be on the
advert. I added some white background so that the writing
would stand out. I also like the way that it looks like it has
been ripped out of a page because I think it makes it look
more unique. I then added 4 red stars that are the same
red as her lipstick colour; this balances out the use of bright
colouring. I did this to make sure that there was a critics
opinion as this makes the advertisement look more
professional.

4. I then added comments from critics underneath the
stars so that they linked in with the rating; this
makes it look more legit and allows the audience to
understand what kind of music the album holds.
This is my final design for my magazine advert. I
think it works well because it is very bold and
stands out well. However if I did it again I would
experiment with different images to see what one
works best, I would also experiment with black and
white because some of my digipaks are black and
white and so is our video.
