Ideas for the magazine advert

This is the image i like the most for using this kind of style as a magazine advert!

Even though it's extremely simple and doesn't use a lot of colours, i think it really stands out on the plain white background. The two colours red and black both compliment each other, but the red stands out more, which i would use for the most important text on the advert.

The background is actually the title of the album but in a kind of bold print to be more eye catching to the audience. 'Jadakiss' the artist is also all in black, the style of his clothes is the style we would like to show in our music video, magazine advertisement and the CD cover but perhaps in a brighter colour so a new genre is brought in Bassline/electro.

Ideas for the magazine advert

Even though this is an advertisement for an 'after shave' i think its a really good way of intriguing the audience. As you cant fully see the artist it makes them some what mysterious and the audience will want to know more about them and their style of music.
Although the image dominates the entire page, there is still enough room to add text about the release date of the new music track. The Lettering on the title is like letters all different sizes cut out of a newspaper which again has a mysterious feel as it's normally used for ransom notes, giving the artist an 'edgy' personality or style.

Ideas for the magazine advert

Even though this image is based around a CD cover, i think its a really good layout to use for a magazine advertisement as the style fits our music genre.
It has a vibrant pink stripy background which attracts the reader and in a way shows the artists personality. The image of the artist 'Amerie' is a close up shot of her standing sideways but then slightly turning her head to look at the camera, which involves the audience.

Research for magazine adverts

This is a advertisement that's trying to encourage people to buy a album of the artist Dizzee Rascal.

It's very eye catching as the contents of the layout isn't what you would normally find on any other advertisement.

They have used very large lettering with a really small image of the artist this really works as the audience will know who the artist is but they are focusing more on the information that the advertisement is giving them. The lettering is also in a bubble style of writing which makes it look more fun, the colours white red and pink also add to this. 'Tongue' is in the colour red which is the actual colour of a tongue, and 'Cheek' is in a pink colour which can be the colour of an actual cheek.

The background is a pale blue which makes everything else on the advert stand out.

The style of the advert is very comical to make it seem more fun and inviting to the audience. It's also not all a true image, its all been put together on a software, for instance maybe photoshop.

This is a very good advertisement as it gives the audience more information then having a bigger image. Although if we have a new artist it may be better to have a larger image then writing.

Research for magazine adverts

This is another image i have chose that would suit my groups style and genre for an advertisement.
The artist is Dizzee Rascal and is known for his wild and wacky music videos so i thought it would be a good idea to look at his style of photos to use that would look good in an advertisement.
The background on the image is a simple white colour which is a good idea for an advert as anything you put in front of it, its going to stand out. The artist is actually hold his name covering his face, there is no need to see his face as his name is famous enough for people to know who he is. Although i don't think this would ideal for our magazine advertisement as its meant to be a new artist so the audience wouldn't know who they actually are. Even though you can't see the artists face there is a photo of him on his t-shirt so you can tell who it is. I think this is a very good idea as the image is pointing at the audience interacting them with the advert. I think this a very good idea as the 'real artist could be doing more of a natural pose, whereas the image of the artist on the t-shirt will be eye-catching to the audience involving them.

Research for magazine adverts

This is an image i have found of a unknown music artist posing in a R'n'B way. I thought this image may be appropriate for a magazine advertisement as the background is very simple focusing all the attention on the artist.

The image is also very good as artist is looking straight at the camera, which is interacting with the audience making them more involved. There is also plenty of room on the image to add text of the album title and the dates.

The costume suits the genre as it's based around R'n'b and bassline and what you would normally find this genres typical video.

There are minimal colours used in the photo, colours which are of a natural tone, so whatever you want to put on the photo as well it will stand out.

Chosen option

From reading the briefs my group and I have decided to choose option one which is, "A promotion package for the release of an album. to include a music promo video, together with two of the following options" which we have chosen , a cover for it's release CD and a magazine advertisement for the release of the album. After planning out different genres of music we have decided to go with the genre, baseline/electro. We have split up the work load for the research task, i will be researching for a magazine advertisement by looking at different artists that have used ideas that we like and to also look at different camera angles to make the product look different. The other members of my group will be researching the video and and the CD cover for the music video.
