Final ideas for digipak

Back cover

magazine advertisement



This is my final idea for my magazine advertisement. I have kept a simple layout as from my research I decided this is most effective. I have used yellow and pink to reflect the punk theme of The Sex Pistols (see digipak research). I used an image of my digipak cover at the middle of the advertisement to make it a memorable image for anyone who wishes to purchase it. I like the contrast between the black and white CD cover and the vibrant colours of the advert. I think the yellow background works succesfully because it is so eyecatching.
I produced my advertisment in A4 format because I think it would be most suitable for publications that usually come in this size. I would like it to feature in music orientated magazines targeted at a male dominated audience between the ages of 15 and 20, such as NME. I think the band I am promoting ('Smaller Than You') would also appeal to a young female audience because of the energetic and youthful yet slightly rebellious nature that the images promote and the young members of the band and so this could also feature in a teenage magazine such as cosmogirl.
I have also researched some british skateboarding magazines and I think this advertisement could be published in those too as they try to attract a similar target audience.
