Magazine advert updated

This is the final version of the magazine advert after deliberating on the image and position of it we decided on a central image to have her stand out more and also be more strong and powerful looking. 

Magazine advert process

Following an agreement with my partner, it was decided that we wouldn't use the previous magazine design and instead come up with a new one and that is this one pictured below, showing the step by step transformation of the product.

Although this is the magazine advert, I decided to that the picture should also be black and white, as it

would be less confusing for potential customers. The picture used is also a full size image of the one on the CD's  front cover, this ultimately creating synergy between the two products

Again, suing curves helps with accentuating the hues of the picture.

Like on the extra page of the CD, I also decided to use different light leaks. Since the poster advertises the

product(CD), I felt that puting more colours would represent the genre of the artist. Pop music is extremely vibrant, and so I felt that the multitude of colours would show show this best.

A black band at the bottom of the picture felt that would benefit the poster. It also appears to be

the "norm" for various magazine adverts. I therefore decided to use it to incorporate the artists' website, 

the i-tunes logo advertising that the album will also be released in digital form, and the logo of the record label. 

Here, I decided to put the artist and album name on black strips. To give it an urban touch, I decided

to warp the black striped as give the image an "original" feel.

Like on the extra page of the CD, I also decided to use different light leaks. Since the poster advertises the

product(CD), I felt that puting more colours would represent the genre of the artist. Pop music is extremely vibrant, and so I felt that the multitude of colours would show this best.

This is my first try. I really like the outcome, however, I feel that it is missing information, so I will try to 

incorporate the release date for a last touch.

As part of the process, I decided to add a new black stripe. However, the position doesn't seem to benefit the poster as it makes it appear too crowded

In the end, increasing the stripe at the bottom appeared to work best. The poster has all the necessary information without feeling "crowded", whih gives it a more proffesional look.

Magazine advert process

The image first started off in colour, but after an agreement we decided it should be in black and white, however before doing so I adjusted the curves pictured in the image below as you can see a brighter contrast. 

the next step was adding the itunes logo in order to broadcast where the song will be available for purchase.

this is where the black and white effect had taken place

i then began placing the text around the body of the image beginning with the name of the song in a small font then gradually getting bigger when it came to the artists name.

the image of the artists album was placed onto the advert next so that the viewer of the magazine could have a rough idea of what they could be purchasing. The record labels logo was placed alongside the itunes logo.

a quote from a music magazine about the artist was the last piece of text to be placed on there to show a rating and how popular the artist is bound to be.

The final image is where i had finally corrected the colours of the image so that the black tones didn't look grey.

CD extra process

Like in the previous edits, the same black and white effect was created on the pictures in order to create

synergy with the covers of the CD. 

Since this is an extra panel usually found on the right hand inside panel of a CD,  the lyrics of the song were added to it , as it allows the customer to sing along with the song. 

 there were more light leaks added. This was done to create a more colourful scheme without deviating too much from the front covers. As a result, the colours are soft and discreetly placed. 

CD disc process

I started out with sizing the circle. I decided to the photoshop grids in order to find the right measurements.

Afterwards, I decided to lay down the typography. To give the CD an interesting touch,

I decided to warp the text and make it appear less conventional. 

It also seemed that warping the rest of the texts would make the CD appear less professional.

In an attempt to not go overboard with the effect the rest of the text was as it had been before.

For it to look like an authentic CD print,  the logo of the record label was placed on to the CD, as well as the text claiming ownership.
