Magazine advert session 1

For today's lesson, I have started making my magazine advert for the digipak. Although I have completed the digipak, I will go back to it if I need to change or make improvements on it before it is fully finished. Taking audience opinion into consideration I have used the image that the majority picked as the best for the magazine advert. The advert will help compliment the digipak as it is similar to the photos I have taken for the digipak with same clothes, background, make-up and so forth.  I noticed this is a key feature when I researched other magazine adverts as they either showed the same front cover (alike with Florence and the Machine) or had the same style/look (alike with Adele). I will do at least two magazine adverts and gain audience feedback about which one they like best. This will help show me which magazine advert the audience are attracted to and which one grabs their attention in order to buy the digipak.

This is my first magazine advert that I have created. I like the different picture shown as the key image as she is looking directly at the audience and smiling at them. This draws the audience to further look at the advert when she is showing a friendly look to invite the audience in. 

At the top, I have placed the artists name in a box to make it stand out in the advert and highlight which artist the magazine is selling. The name of the album is placed directly above the digipak, which will draw peoples eyes to the digipak front cover shown. At the right side next to the digipak cover, I have placed some information about the CD including: Date of release, what main songs are included in the CD and the website of the artist for further details. There isn't much text shown as the key image is mainly important for attracting the audience in. I will create a second magazine advert and once this is done, gain audience feedback on which they like best.
