My Magazine Advertisement (Final)

To help me to choose my final magazine advertisement I got audience feedback from my Sister, I asked which advertisement idea she preferred, what her favourite feature on the advert was and what did she least like about the advert.

She said that she finds the second album advertisement more "appealing" and "eye catching" although she did not like the placement of the artists name, so I decided to place the title with the album name and release date. She said that she found the first advertisement idea "too confusing because there is so much going on in the advertisement", this made me realise that the advertisement would not be memorable if people saw it at first glance because they would not read the release date or the reviews. The artists name will be in a large font which will make people aware of that the album is already out. I decided to use to same colour scheme as I did on the digipak, so the audience will recognise the digipak in a shop. I used the image on image gold sequins on the advertisement as I did on the digipak, so the audience will recognise the digipak by looking at the advertisement. I used a different image on the advertisement than I did on the digipak because I felt that the reader would make a connection with the artist and they would want to buy the digipak.

My Magazine Advertisement (Idea Two)

My Second Idea

I really like the heart shape made by the artists hands as it creates a connection between the artist and the audience. The heart shape also makes synergy between the music video and the advertisement. I like the recommendations around the artist, once again because it draws the viewers attention on the performer and the reviews. Also, the font will be the same in this advertisement and the digipak cover which shows both of there similarities, this will make the viewer aware that it is the same artist. The placing of the album title in the heart develops a connection between the fans and the artist, as it shows appreciation.

I will use the majority of this advertisement in my final magazine product but I will change the placing of the artists name to the bottom, so it is with the title of the album and the release date.

My Magazine Advertisement (Idea One)

My First Idea

I like the placing of the artists name, album title, the 'Out Now' sign, the hit singles and the artists myspace because the viewer is immediately drawn to the titles. Also, I like the recommendations around the artist because all of the reviews relate to her. I am not sure whether I like the slogan at the top of the advertisement. I think the photograph of the artist is boring and she does not make a connection between the audience. I do not think that I will use this advertisement as my final magazine product.
