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.
Holly don't throw marks away by mis-use of capital letters!!! Capaital letters for the name of bans, i.e. The Sex Pistols, and Smaller than You. Be careful.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't describe the band as "innocent"...what about youthful/energetic. Do remember that skate boarding is a male dominated sport thus it is likely your target audience is the 15-20 male demographic, and of course a niche audience, though if single/music video is well received then your audience may be more mainstream. Think carefully about this. Your colour choice indeed evokes the albmums of "The Sex Pistols".
