Magazine Advert - Our own

After looking at three other Magazine Adverts from large artists and creating a basic template for our advert, me and Ian produced this as our advert through using the programme 'Photoshop':

Here we followed the template by creating the clear and bold artist's name. Below we also followed the template with the positioning of the quotes from two famous musicians. We also followed the template by positioning the image of the artist on the right and also took inspiration from 'Razorlight's' advert by following a black and white theme. This magazine advert looks sophisticated and I feel it catches the eye. However, there are several faults about this Magazine Advert that lead to myself and Ian rejecting it and using it as a more developed draft.


The image used is of the artist himself, 'Frank Hamilton' and was not taken by either myself or Ian, this would not work as the image that has to be used must be generated by ourselves rather than taken from the internet. In addition to this, I pointed out to Ian that we used quotes from bands rather than newspapers or magazines. This is a flaw as more people would have heard of widely read newspapers over two indie bands. This magazine advert does not include any detail on the release of the album or any other information apart from the two quotes from 'Brandon Flowers' and niche indie band 'Foals'. In order to overcome these obstacles, me and Ian decided to start again.
