Here is my first draft of my magazine advertisement. To make it, I looked at the advert I deconstructed in a previous post and looked at all the conventions, and I think that I have stuck to those conventions. The name of the artist and the name of the album are the central pieces of text and are the pieces of text that the eye will be drawn to first, and the image is the same that I used for the album cover, so there is relevance between the album cover and the advert, and the audience can establish a link between the two. Other persuasive features are also used such as quotes from well-renowned magazines and phrases such as 'the incredible debut album'. These are both examples of the hypodermic needle effect in action as the advert aims to use its power to persuade the audience into buying the album.
Obviously, I would've liked it to be portrait, but pages didn't allow me to alter the picture so that it looked suitable for a magazine.
Your advert is beginning to look very professional. I like how you have included media theory with an explanation of this draft, too.
ReplyDeleteThe main area you need to work on is the layout of the text on the garage- making it more within the lines of the garage door. I think the font is very 'now';very much what you see in a magazine right now. Although look carefully at how they make the text more varied. Title of the album is great too!
