2. What is a Magazine Ad ?
Magazine advertising is the ads you see placed throughout publications. Advertisers
have to strategically place ads in the right magazine which improves their business
many times over.
Magazine ads all have similar features, we must incorporate these to make ours look
just as professional and attention grabbing. I noticed that the conventions of a
magazine ad are:
Photograph, which may be on the digi-pak cover
Artist name and album name
The digi-pak
Colour code
Record label
Songs included
Date it is out
Where you can access it from (e.g. itunes, play.com)
Reviews
3. A Magazine Ad
This is a very
successful magazine
ad, it include the
conventions as well
as introducing the
artist with a bit of
her own style
coming through.
We intend to create
something similar to
this reflecting on our
digi-pak image.
I am going to produce
potential designs
including; funky
fonts, a colour
scheme, possible
photos and props
needed to ensure we
have the best
outcome.
4. Inspiration
I browsed through several magazines and the internet to find my inspiration is
similar to the people for my digi-pak as the artist use the same pictures from their
album covers for their magazine ad, or just an enlarged focused section.
Also, artists such as; Trey Songz, Eminem, Nicki Minaj, Pixie Lott and Rihanna, use
their face and style to sale their product. Their digi-paks and ads are all of
themselves set in a quirky location, background effect or prop, which influenced us
to create something similar as ours is also a performative album.
