My Magazine Advert:

My Magazine Advert In Progress:

My magazine advert photo is an edited primary photo taken of the location of my wood scene in my music video. I have edited this photo on 'Windows Live Photo Gallery' by using tools to change the 'Contrast' and 'Colour Situation'. My inspiration of these photos for my magazine advert have been taken from official magazine ads like Kings of Leon, The Verve and Coldplay (which i have posted on my blog earlier) here are 3 possible photos i could use:

I have chosen this photo:

My mag ad so far (first initial stages):

Progress 1: As you can see i am using 'Adeobe Photoshop' to make my magazine advert for my album. I have cropped my initial photo, i have added a 'App Store' at the bottom to show realism and the importance of digital technology when advertising. And i have written the release date as 'August 2014'.

Progress 2:

To make it look more realistic i have added 'NME ****'. This adds to the representation of the magazine being real and of a alternative rock genre due to the connection with the NME magazine which is a popular music magazine with that particular genre. Just from this the audience will donnotate the genre representation.

Progress 3:

Here i have changed the fonts of 'NME' and 'The new album...' to black so they stand out against the background, they also create continuity by matching the band name. I have changed the contrast on the background on Photoshop and changed the colour situation and negativity to make it look more faded and abstract. I have also added the bands name at the top, by copying it from Dafont.com and by using the 'Quick Selection Tool' i was able to just keep the black text and get rid of the white background surrounding it.

Progress 4 and final product:

I have added the album name 'Oblivion' which on photoshop i again used the 'Quick Selection Tool' so i was able to just get the black text. I got the text from Dafont.com which is called 'Araul' compared to the background it looks faded but i like this contrast as it fits with the faded photo on the background which makes it look abstract.
