Magazine Advert...

For our magazine advert, we agreed that we should make it relate very much to the album cover. Therefore we decided to have a comic strip in the background, but rather than have it translucent and hard to see, we made it clear and eye catching. We went through many different comic strips, black and white ones, random hero ones, well-known superhero ones and finally decided that a Superman comic strip would be most effective. We thought that many magazines are read by youngsters and so we thought we had to really make a advert that popped and grabbed the attention of the readers.

Our final draft turned out like this:


We added the red comic background from the album cover for the top strip of the advert, where we have imputed The band name and album title. Additionally we copied as similar yellow strip which features on the bottom of our album cover onto our magazine cover, and replaced the 'DVD with bonus footage' with ratings from critically acclaimed music magazines; RollingStone and QMagazine. Another thing we converted from the album cover was the sticker which reads 'Featuring the hit single For The First Time'. Lastly, we superimposed a picture of the album cover so that the affiliation between the two is noticable, and the awareness is increasingly raised.
