The Process of making the magazine advert

We decided for our magazine advert we wanted to use the same image used for the front cover of our digipak as we wanted to help the audience recognise what our album cover would look like so when they see the magazine advert they would remember what that and once they've seen the digipak they would then know what it looks like.




In the process of making the magazine advert, we transferred this image into black and white again because i feel that the black and white image is a significance within our whole theme, music video and digipak so keeping this feel to our magazine advert would be necessary. 
We done plenty of magazine analysis and decided what sort of information we need to have on our magazine advert which would be :

1. The artist name - this is vital because this shows the audience who the artist is
2. The albums name - the audience need to remember what the name of the album is to purchase it
3. Availability - where the album will be available e.g. HMV, ITunes
4. Release date - the date they can purchase it
5. Website - the artist or artists management website
6. Stars - what other magazines or newspaper have rated the album

This is a screen shot in the process of making our magazine advert, showing the layers used for the different things that were going on when using Photoshop, e.g. Changing to black and white, Adding text, editing the lip colour etc. 

This screen shot is showing on photo shop adding the text on to the image. This text box was of when we were adding the newspaper article ranking of the album using these stars. 

We added the HMV AND iTunes logo signifying the availability of the album on both of the music records website and shops. 

On our magazine advert, in big bold letter we dated the release date with both HMV and iTunes logo at the both sides of them showing their available on there.
