This is our groups advert cover and what it would look like placed into a magazine. We decided to place our advert inside NME magazine as this is a music magazine in which similar bands to ours feature in. Our advert is itself placed by article on 'Combat Rock' although not entirely the same genre as our band it shares many of the same elements.
To produce this advert we followed the same design process as our album cover. The idea for this advert was based upon my final advert design.
We decided to add a quote in as we felt the advert whilst good and eye catching didn't tell you what genre the band was, with the quote of "A refreshing take on the Indie genre" this was now unmistakable, the quote is also from a reliable magazine NME.
We chose the colours yellow and purple for the text and background because they are very similar to a big named brand 'The 99' ice cream, we felt that the band could ride the success and reputation of this brand to increase their own. We chose to put three ice creams on as there is three members in the band, it also represent the three stages of producing anything not just music which are planning/research stage, the construction stage and the evaluation/feedback stage. Our advert is very different from our album cover on purpose we wanted them to be distinct from each other so that they could exist in their own right and not only with each other.
We didn't actually have a a copy of NME magazine or any music magazine in fact. To overcome this problem we decided to digitally place our magazine into one instead.
We then added similar magazine to increase the immersion and believability of the advert. This was done in Adobe Photoshop CS3
