Rough draft for magazine advertisement



This is my first draft for one of the ancillary texts, my magazine advertisement. I have used a print screen image of my YouTube video for the main image which I think captures a part of the couple's relationship which is represented in the video. The image creates a romantic theme for the advertisement and automatically suggests that the music video which goes with the track focuses on a relationship between a young couple. For a second draft, I could use some of my own photographs which I will take whilst shooting a part of the music video. Therefore, the overall quality of the image will be improved. I have chosen to put the text in upper case as I found out from my research into magazine advertisements the text is always only upper case. This is done so  the text is clear for a member of the target audience to read. I used Blink 182's magazine advertisement as a guide in creating a first draft for my own product as I liked the layout of that particular advert. I have conformed to the common conventions of a magazine advertisement by including: the track name, the album name, release date and the band's website address. However, I have also included the social media icons to indicate that the band have a page on these websites. This is extra marketing material for the band and is becoming more apparent in many more existing magazine advertisements. In order to improve this draft for a second draft I think I should use Photoshop to show the genre more clearly. I could do this by making adjustments to the image, colour scheme or text.
