Magazine Advert

   Final magazine advert-

This was the magazine advert I made as part of my ancillary task. I got the inspiration for my magazines layout from the Kasabians magazine advert:

Like the Kasabian advert, I placed my band name at the top in bigger Bolder writing, making it stand out more. I used a key image from my music video to advertise the band as well as their new album. To keep consistent  synergy within the products I used the same font as my music video and digipack covers on the magazine advert. I also added a link to the bands website as well as a twitter link, advertising and promoting the band more. 

Researching for the magazine advert.....

To create my magazine advert I used the Photoshop software as I personally felt that is was the most versatile and effective program to use and due to its versatility it results in creating better products. However to experiment with other programs I also created another magazine advert using the software Fireworks-

Eventhough Fireworks was an easier software to use, it limits in what you can do. For example - in photoshop I used the blur tool to bur the background behind the text in the advert, this made the text clearer and bolder.
