Magazine Advert Draft

Here is our basic draft for our music magazine advert. We decided to sketch out our chosen design before actually making the finished digital product. We made the magazine add look similar to our dig pack front cover, and also to keep the design simple. This is because after comparing CD covers to mag adds it is common for them to both have the same look, e.g. same photograph or text font. We kept to the simple use of black and white as this is what Woodkid does in his own work, but we will use the same image as we planned for our digipack in our magazine advert. However, the difference is that we have now decided to place two flower garlands on the gun rather then the flower bed that we originally designed for our digipack front cover, as we felt that it would be more practical and effective, these flower garlands will appear in colour and will be the only source of colour within both the magazine advert and digipack. We have kept the design simple and have used minimal text to keep the add interesting and eye catching with the large photo of the run taking up the majority of the add. However, we have included all the necessary information, for example the artists name, album name, three of the song titles including our chosen song 'Run Boy Run', a quote from one of the songs which is the real message behind the song an music video, the artists logo of the crossed keys and finally two logos of the Woodkids record labels. We are pleased with our designs as we think it reflects the artist and our interpretation of the song. We will now begin to make  both the digipack and magazine advert, starting of with a photoshoot of the gun.
