PRODUCTION OF THE PROMOTIONAL

ADVERTSMAGAZINE POSTERS FOR MY DIGIPAK AND MUSIC VIDEO

PHOTOSHOPThrough my research into magazine poster adverts for music products, I found that the sizes of the adverts may vary depending on the status of the publication and the success of the artist.

For this reason I have decided I will produce each size poster for my music product as each could be used in a different publication.

The full page advert would have the most effect as it is automatically more eye catching and engages the audience, it also allows for more information as there is more space available.

POSTERSI have used Photoshop to create my posters to advertise my music product in a magazine. The publication most likely to be published in would be Q or Vibe as these are in the same genre as my artist and they’re not they will appeal to the same audience as my artist. Equally they are of a similar status to that of my artist.

I began by editing the photo and the background to create the same effect as some successful posters created by other artists, while still using my artists iconography and style.

FULL PAGE POSTER• My first advert is a full page one, this would be the most expensive to publish.

I decided to use the image from the cover of the album as this would be more recognizable to the audience and creates continuity, continuity has also been created by using the same colour scheme and themes.

• The image of the digipak cover is also shown. The artists name and the album name are shown, as well as the release date and a review. These are all conventions of a magazine advert.

HALF PAGE POSTER My half page poster follows the same style of the rest of the media products I have created, allowing for continuity so my audience will associate the products with each other. It uses the same images and features as the full page advert.

However this advert would be more affordable as it is a smaller one and is less eye caching to an audience.

The effects look simplistic and effective, they are relatable to the audience and use the artists iconography creating him a brand for the audience to interpret and idealize.

QUARTER PAGE VERTICAL POSTER This advert is considerably smaller and much less eye catching for an audience.

It uses the same images, themes, and text as the other adverts although it has less content due to a restricted space.

This advert would be less successful for the artists work as less people would see it and be engaged, however it does still show the artists brand and it shows the digipak cover so if an audience saw the advert, they would still know what it was for.

QUARTER PAGE HORIZONTAL POSTERThis is the advert as a quarter page again, but horizontally this time. It is much smaller than some of the other adverts so has less content but it is still however showing the album and the release date which are both the main features of an advert.

It doesn't’t have enough room to show the artist himself or have too many images, so it is important to be effective with the space available and show the audience what is necessary.
