Magazine Advert


This magazine advert will feature in the Studio 5 magazine that I created for my AS coursework. The magazine was created by the band Studio 5 and is a good promoting tool for the band.  

Stage 4:




I thought it needed something else to brighten the advert up I thought I could do what I did with the digipak booklet and make some paint splatters to put around the edges of the magazine advert. This would reflect the bands characters as if they are free with their music. 

Stage 3:






I then uploaded the logos to make the Magazine advert more official I added the Studio 5 logo, EMI logo and Sony BMG logo. 

Stage 2:





Then I added a black background and used the "Colleged" font found down below, I used this font because it is in keeping with the old school theme.



Stage 1:


First I uploaded the image of the band and changed the  Hue/Saturation, colour balance and brightness to make the image more presentable.

Plan:




Images I Have Used:

Mock Magazine Advert







I then added on the words so the audience know what this advert it advertising, in this case the bands new album. I used the "Colleged" font found on the website down below, this font also gives the feel of a school.

Stage 2:






I then added on an image of old school paper that I had found on the internet. I chose this image because it gives it the feel of being in a school environment and reflects the feeling of the songs in this album.


Stage 1:





First I uploaded the image I used from the mock album cover and deleted the words, I placed the image at the top of the page.

Digipak Booklet


Digipaks have booklets inside of the album, little bios of the artist and any exclusive content, so I took that idea and made my own digipak booklet.



My Version of a Digipak Booklet 


I first made the black background on the information pages, I got most of the images from the Digipak and placed them on the pages, the only one's that are new are the 3D glasses, in which I took the white background off with the background eraser on Photoshop and snapshots of the band in the music video. The font I used is for the titles is Colleged, to give it the old school effect, for the information I just used Arial font. Then I put on the paint splatters to give it a relaxed and free feel which is to show the bands persona.
