This is a very rough, unfinished draft of my magazine advert. I've used original photography and used a unique font for the title of the single, which will be used on the digipak, as well as the artist's name, which will also be the same on the digipak. The image I have used for this advert has been zoomed in on the ragdoll to show the main focus of the song. Stereotypically the image on the advert for the genre I am doing a music video for would be of the artist, but for my advert I decided to subvert this stereotypical convention for the singer/songwriter genre, showing that the main focus is on the narrative and more about the song and lyrics. The font I have used for the title of the single resembles building blocks that children play with, I felt that using this font is quite effective as it is quite childlike which is what I want to convey with my promotion. The font I have used for the artist's name is elegant and quite contrasting to the title of the song. I have done this to represent the artist as a serious musician, and also to contrast with the title of the song so both of the texts stand out. I have taken inspiration from other magazine adverts, such as using a quote from another magazine about the single/artist, and I intend to use a rating, I have included information about when the single is out and where it will be available, which most adverts do.
To improve:
- I have decided that the image needs to be in colour, as it will stand out more, so I will retake the shot in colour
- The text underneath the artist's name, the quote, needs to be the same font as the artist's name
- Rearrange the text so it does not obstruct the image too much but also so it will stand out
