Ancillary Task: Advert designs!

For the magazine advertisement each of us in the group will design an advert, we will then choose the one we think is the most effected for purpose and best suited to our target audience.

Here are my quick designs:

My original idea was to have a simple image of the band dominating the advertisement, this would introduce the band and allow them to stand out when flicking through a magazine. The album cover would be advertised next to the band with text saying "out now" to help promote the album/single. The bands name "Hate Boss" would be located at the top of the page which again introduces the band and of the text was to be large and bold would stand out and be eye-catching to the target audience. The remainder of the advertisement would be white space to allow the audience to focus on the band and their album and to not get side-tracked by other colours/images/effects.





However after seeing a film advertisement that i thought was really effective i decided to change my original idea and base a new idea on this. Again a main image of the band will dominate the page however instead of the band name being at the top of the page the band can be seen holding a large sign of the bands name which will be in the form on whipped cream which cooperates with the music video and the image. The album will be advertised at the top of the page as the advertisement is as much about advertisement the album/single as it is as the band therefore i thought that the album would be most noticeable if it was near the top of the page and in the eye line of the reader. Again the background will be white to allow the reader to focus on the band and their album.
