2nd draft of magazine advert

On my magazine advert I included one main image of the main artist, a release date for the album and the artist name and album name. I didn't want to include too much text on the advert because I thought it would be more effective but also with the image I used it meant I couldn't include much text anyway, because ideally I needed to have my text down the left side or right at the bottom because otherwise the image just wouldn't have worked aswell. I decided to combine the artist name and album name into one, I thought this was actually quite effective and saved room on my advert. Having the album name in the colour red makes it obvious to the audience that, that is the album name. Totally distinguishing it from the first part of her name 'Georgia'. I also centered the release date towards the bottom because it is a really important part of the advert and it needs to be read by the audience so I thought this made it stand out more, I also made the '20th' part a slightly different colour to the rest of the sentence to again make it stand out more. I thought the white writing worked well against the black and white image making the text really viable to the audience,

Before I started making my magazine advert I drafted and looked at examples of other real magazine adverts. I decided I wanted to have more of a plain but effective advert with not so much writing, so that the picture would catch the readers eye more, instead of having lots of writing on there because I felt like that would immediately put off the audience and they wouldn't even bother taking any interest. After looking at examples and having an understanding of what adverts worked best, I knew what arrangement I wanted with the picture and text on my advert. When I had made my first draft, I was happy with the picture and what text I had included but just wasn't quite pleased with the arrangement of text because the name of the artist and the album was at the bottom and the release date was in the middle, so I felt it should be the other way round because the artists name and album was more important information. Therefore changed things around and made my second and final draft which I thought worked better and was far more effective.

Here are some examples of magazine adverts. I looked at these to give me some inspiration on how I wanted mine to look. To decide things like whether I wanted it to have quite a lot of writing on or less writing and have an eye catching image with just the most important details written on. This is why I chose to look at one with a lot of information on and one with not so much.
