Magazine Advert Rough Design

Magazine Advert Rough Design

Displayed above is my magazine advert which accompanies my digipak design. I am pleased with this draft in terms of the composition and style however there is much more I could do to improve this design.

My magazine advert was made using Adobe Photoshop and I composed myself siting on a rock and composed another imaged of the sky for the top of the artwork. There is still much more improvement to be made as the image of me is not positioned and edited correctly.

I have not stuck with the typical conventions of using the same image from the digipak front cover  as I wanted this magazine advert to be less direct and more ambiguous making the audience question what the imagery is about and to also make its own individual artwork. The negative aspects of this advert are that it lacks the watercolour style of the digipak design. As well as this the Typography does not seem to work as my original colour for the name ‘Shiloh’ was written in white in my digipak, therefore this will need to be changed. It would also be nice if I add more information i.e. the website of the record company and the artists, I should also include where it can be purchased.  Potentially this magazine advert could look better I included the same elements of design as used with my digipak.
