Using Photoshop, I used a template of a magazine I found online, in order to assess the functionality of the magazine advert I created. Here is a mock-up version of how the magazine advert I created would look if it were actually to be featured in a magazine:
I searched for a simple online template, as I did when I was looking to asses the functionality of the digipak that I created for the album, so I could Photoshop the magazine advert I created over the top of it. Fitting with my creation of the mock-up piece for my digipak, to create this piece for my magazine advert I had to use the transformation tool to re-size and rotate the image so that it was the correct size and angle to fit onto the magazine template. I also had to use the warp tool again, so that the advert effectively fit onto the template, and gave the impression that it was part of the magazine. As I had experience in using the warp tool at this point, I found that I could carry out this technique more easily this time.
Overall, I am very pleased with my magazine advert and I believe that it is for purpose. I like way I have chosen to position the main image, so that it frames the information I have layered on top of the image to effectively draw attention to it. I particularly like my use of the black coloured header and footer, as I believe these help to make the information I have included on the advert more clear, and that they help to segment it appropriately so that it does not appear cluttered. I think that the magazine advert comes together with the digipak and the music video to create a sleek and effective promotional package for the album; the typography I have used in the digipak and the magazine advert is consistent, and the image I have used in the magazine advert is the same as that used on the front cover of digipak, and this is taken from the opening shot of the music video my group created.
